I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treatments proven to increase children's positive feelings and ability to cope. I work with children ages 6-17 and have been providing therapy for the past 12 years. Some areas of treatment interest are anxiety, phobias, trauma, and adjustment issues (such as grief, divorce, food allergies). I have a certified therapy dog named Willow. If clients do not want Willow in session, then she is not a part of therapy. Willow is an mini Aussiedoodle, which means she has minimal shedding and is more allergy-friendly.

Today's world is difficult to navigate. Am I doing the right things for my children? Am I making the right career moves? Does my relationship need attention? Do my children need extra support? How can I be a better friend? Sometimes the list seems endless. The question we forget to ask ourselves is am I happy? Are my children happy? Unfortunately, some of us are not, some of us feel like we are just going through the motions. Let's change that together. Let's make happiness a priority. Let's get back to the basics.

I am unfortunately not taking new clients at this time*** I strongly believe that whether someone is simply going through some uncomfortable stress, or enduring a very painful transition in life, together we can find answers that will renew hope and help you feel empowered to change your life. I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and recognize that the patient is the expert in their own life. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to find unique solutions to complex problems. I believe focusing on patient strengths, not weaknesses, elicits hope and leaves room for meaningful and long lasting change. ​

Making the call is the first step toward feeling better. While no therapist can guarantee results, Meadowlark has the focus and training to help clients feel better in terms of managing issues and specific symptoms. Using Structural and Solution focused strategies, I work with clients to maximize functioning and minimize difficulties brought on by symptoms.

Having found this page, you have already begun your healing journey and overcome your first challenge. Congratulations and welcome! Thank you for considering me as your therapist in this process.

I aim to be there for my clients, and provide therapeutic interventions and support that are unique to each individual's strengths and challenges.

I am a licensed independent social worker with over 15 years experience. I have provide therapy services to toddlers with their parents, children, adolescents, teens. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) trained in Adlerian Play Therapy and have specialized training in the evidenced based treatment of Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). My office provides a PCIT suite to offer PCIT services effectively. I am also trained in trauma informed Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

I believe that each client is the expert in his or her own life and that my job is to offer insights and techniques that "feel right" for the client, while providing the client a supportive, non-judgemental counseling relationship that fosters trust and personal growth. I use cognitive behavioral techniques - developing new ways of thinking about feelings and events, brief therapy - focusing on client strengths, and person centered therapy - where the client and I collaborate on counseling goals.

Sometimes life just knocks you over. You play a simple event over and over in your head until you're sobbing and feeling more alone than ever before. You feel broken down from the painful memories that haunt you and the flashbacks that have you frozen in time, not knowing why you can't move on. You struggle to find the motivation to get out of bed. You keep it all to yourself because no one cares/no one wants to listen to this stuff/other people have it worse/everyone has their own crap. Please know you aren't alone in this. You aren't "defective", you aren't "crazy", you aren't "broken"... you're alive. And life is hard.

Beginning psychotherapy is a very significant step in a person's life. I understand, and very much appreciate the trust that needs to be built to share thoughts, experiences, and pain that have brought you to this point. I also understand how difficult it is to share these kinds of things with someone you don't know. I realize that trust and this process takes time, and I believe and respect that the patient knows when they are ready to reveal and talk about their experiences and their emotions. I commit to providing you with a safe environment where you will feel comfortable to share and to achieve your treatment goals.

It's not always easy taking the first step to seek out counseling, but chances are, if you are here, you are recognize that something isn't working for you and you are ready to make some changes in your life. Working collaboratively, counseling can address these issues to help you achieve your personal wellness goals.

I believe individuals have the answers within themselves to produce desired change. My job is to help facilitate discovery of those answers and aid in navigation of life's stressors and obstacles. My doctoral research and education focused on treating individuals living with chronic pain. I see individuals with a variety of presenting concerns and diagnoses, including chronic illness, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life stressors, and relationship concerns (amongst others).
