"Feeling overwhelmed with managing in this fast paced world? Life is complex and it's often hard to handle the situations we face each day. Whether figuring out what to do about challenging children, issues in a close relationship, or which way to go as you move forward in life, uncertainties can stop anyone in their tracks.

"It is a helpless feeling when your child is struggling and you don't know how to help them. I am here to help both you and your child through this difficult time. I work solely with children from birth to 17 years old. I meet my clients where they are by creating a safe and fun space for them so that they feel comfortable talking about tough subjects and facilitating change. I believe that in working with children you must also incorporate their family and I encourage family involvement in my treatment."

"Working through difficult experiences and emotions can be challenging. It can be even harder to make desired changes in ones life when certain patterns have been established for so long. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported throughout this process. By creating a comfortable and lighthearted environment, individuals, families, and couples are able to gain some reprieve from the difficulties they are experiencing. This allows change to begin to occur in the lives of my clients. "

"Do you feel like your child is always in trouble?? Everyday you wake up with the hope that today will be different. No more yelling. No more acting out. No more struggle. Children and teens don't always have the ability, or the words, to share how they are really feeling. Instead it comes out in their behaviors, which often times ends up creating conflict, disharmony and upset. It doesn't have to be this way. Your child and your family can enjoy being together. It is possible to see your child or teen be their best self! "

" Psychology, the study of the human mind and especially the way it effects our behavior is fascinating to me. I began to pursue my career as a psychotherapist at an early age.I’ve had my share of emotional struggles and once I was able to identify the issue, it significantly became practical and believable to do "the work". It’s a long journey and honestly it takes a lot of work and patience. Having a helping hand makes a world of difference. My goal is to provide you with a space to go deep within yourself by cultivating understanding, patience, and self-compassion so you can thrive! "
