Finding the right match between client and therapist is the most critical factor in achieving a positive treatment outcome. It takes a great amount of trust to form a therapeutic relationship. Compassion coupled with confronting unhealthy coping that one may not be aware of are keys to lasting change. My clients often report feeling not only understood, but also helped in understanding their struggles from another perspective. Together we explore unhelpful patterns while practicing healthier ways of being. Clients know my level of sincerity, knowledge and dedication fairly quickly as I believe genuineness is essential to good treatment outcomes.

Our quality of life is correlated with the quality of our relationships. Stress in relationships can be the main source of unhappiness, making us feel lonely, resentful, and exhausted. Conversely, healthy and secure relationships bring meaning, joy, and a sense of peace into our lives. Therapy can help us gain a sense of clarity and confidence when navigating relationship issues while maintaining our own sense of self. It helps us become mindful of keeping a balance between our own needs and the needs of others. This balance can greatly impact our experience of the self, and others in a positive way.

A challenging responsibility in life is to heal emotional wounds. Family crisis, divorce, losses, anxiety or having a child with emotional or intellectual barriers to be successful in life without finding the desired answer creates frustration and distress. Psychotherapy as an alternative isn't the easiest answer but could be insightful and resilient. Children with developmental difficulties, learning disabilities, autism or conduct disorders can benefit from a holistic approach that considers the healing of their emotional pain as resource for reaching developmental goals. I work with a collaborative approach. You will discover your own potential and solutions to your specific circumstance.

Children spend the majority of their time existing in a world built for adults. When they face challenges, they are often offered solutions that work for adults and, when those solutions don't work, it causes frustration for all parties involved. They may start to struggle with their behavior, struggle emotionally, and suffer socially. When these behavioral or mental health concerns are addressed appropriately, with techniques made for kids, growth and progress can occur, and that frustration can be relieved.

Great parents and great teachers struggle every day feeling like they can't help their kids figure out how to behave and survive their everyday life. They spend day after day fighting, yelling and being exhausted, and having nothing change. Their kids have dysregulated bodies that make them anxious, hyperactive, and sometimes even aggressive. My goal is to help these kids learn to calm and control their body and to help their adults to support them in doing this. I specialize in supporting kids with dysregulation disorders such as autism, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and trauma.

Currently accepting new clients, in-person & teletherapy available. Stepping into the process of counseling takes courage, vulnerability, creativity, and curiosity. It requires the use of one’s whole self—body, mind, emotion and spirit. We also all need community to do the work of healing. Finding a trusted counselor can be one such communal support as you move through the process of excavating who you really are from beneath confusing and toxic layers of culture, religion, family messages, trauma, and unhealthy beliefs about yourself and others.
