Are you a young adult or teen feeling overwhelmed and wondering, “Can life get better? Is there hope for something more?” Teens and young adults today face immense pressure—from teachers, coaches, peers, parents, romantic relationships, social media and most of all, the sometimes enormous amount of pressure they place on themselves.
At this age, it's often hard to open up to parents. Fearing judgment, consequences, or being misunderstood, while well-meaning friends may not offer the right support. I help teens and young adults navigate these challenges, build confidence, and find clarity.

Being human is exciting and beautiful... and challenging! My work is grounded in respect and empathy for how individuals, couples, and families pave a path in life. Together we make change possible by bringing your unique, personal knowledge and experience into awareness, and then moving through the stuckness of painful trauma, unkind thoughts, or feelings of powerlessness before problems. Together we will work to reconnect you to the whole experience of being human: feeling emotions, attuning to thoughts and beliefs, creating healthy relationships, and recognizing your whole life story in its complexity of joy, sorrow, and growth.

I work best with people who are successful in most aspects of their lives, and find the one area that isn't working completely baffling. I see amazing college students who deserve great friends but don't know them yet; kind and supportive parents who find parenthood overwhelming or even terrifying; couples who love each other but feel unloved or unappreciated; and, single people who should definitely be off-the-market. First, we have to grieve the pursuit of perfection we've all been sold. Then, we can move on to fine-tuning your already incredible life so you can enjoy it more.
