During the 15+ years, I have helped children, adolescents and young adults find healing and understanding in distressed times; a good deal of my career has focused on the needs of this unique age group specifically specializing in mood disorders, depression, anxiety-related issues, and social skill difficulties.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for and enjoy the process along the way. It does not have to be all bad. There are reasons why you think a certain way, do not have control over emotions or repeat mistakes. Let us get to the bottom of those reasons.

For 15 years, I have provided therapy to children, adults and families of varied backgrounds and experiences. I often work on addressing parent- child relationships, life transitions, emotional regulation, depression/anxiety and trauma where there has been abuse, violence and early childhood trauma. Play is the language of children and is an important part of working with kids and families. I value treatments that include cognitive-based skills and believe reflecting on the underlying meaning of behaviors which can help manage our responses. Whether utilizing play, art or talk, therapy can help us gain greater insight and growth.

I offer Art Therapy to children, teens and families in person & telehealth.
Art Therapy is a therapeutic technique which allows you to explore various issues through art-making that can sometimes be difficult to express through traditional talk therapy. ​ The process of creating art can foster healing, increase self-awareness, and provide personal empowerment. Art Therapy is a unique form of therapy that allows you to take an active and creative role in the treatment process. ​ No previous art experience is needed, as you don’t have to be good at art to benefit from art therapy. The focus is on the process of creating the art rather than the final image.

With 15 years experience working with teens and families, focusing on depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, eating and body issues, parent- child conflict, and addiction, my goal is to give teens a safe place to explore their emotions and their struggles, while giving them tools to effectively communicate.
I have years of experience working with addictions, depression, and teen issues. I am passionate about recovery and helping those in need find their own recovery. I work to help individuals let go of the old messages that are mean and belittling to themselves, and help replace them with compassion and kindness. Because, it's when we feel good about ourselves that we are able to treat ourselves well. Battling mental health issues is hard and having someone you feel safe with to explore the deep, dark parts of your soul is where the healing begins.
