You might be feeling disconnected, exhausted, holding it together and want to live more authentically. I’m a therapist for children, families and women who struggle with Anxiety, Life Transitions or the impacts of trauma, Autism or ADHD. I'll help you recognize limiting beliefs to shift your mindset. I've gone through painful stuff and you won't feel judged by me. Together, we will process feelings, identify your strengths, needs &obstacles. My hope is that therapy can help you bring awareness, compassion, embrace who you are, give you space to focus on growth, engage in deep healing or a maintenance plan to reach your goals.

Therapies that focus on brain change, heal symptoms more rapidly and get to the deepest part of the issue. I work from a positive perspective that is both challenging and supportive simultaneously. Some people come to me to grow in areas of peak performance and others come to break free from the gridlock they experience in their significant relationships. Many people are stuck in a depressive or anxious cycle that doesn't allow them to be authentic in how they engage the world. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I love it.

Counseling is a deeply personal journey. I work to empower and guide clients toward their own unique solutions that can bring order and managability to life and to relationships. Individuals will be challenged to discover their own unique areas of strength upon which to build skill in overcoming problems and issues that contribute to feeling "stuck." Couples will be challenged to identify individual and collective patterns that interfere with relational closeness, safety, and intimacy. Older children and teenagers will be encouraged to learn valuable skills to help them cope with life's struggles in an environment of safety and trust.

Behavior is always rooted in a child's belief about themself. When children are given the space to communicate their needs and work out their struggles, they are given the opportunity to grow. The outcomes of child centered play therapy include: increased self-esteem, increased ability to handle frustrations and disappointments, increased ability to figure out solutions for their problems, increased ability to make choices, and increased emotional vocabulary that enables them to recognize and communicate their needs verbally.
