I am experienced in working with parents and children in the child welfare system as well as preteens and teens.
I am a compassionate and encouraging therapist and an attentive listener. I understand how hard it can be to seek help or to open up to a new person. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental situation in which to process anything you might need to. I believe that counseling is the process of working toward understanding yourself to have a happy and fulfilled life. I really enjoy helping others through that process.

No matter the conditions, clients who experience the greatest benefit from counseling are the ones who come prepared to learn and grow. Anyone who steps into my office with such an eagerness will also leave having gained something. I am not fixed on any one specific method and adapt my approach based on client need and personality. In addition to counseling, I also offer psychological and educational evaluations. Testing covers a range of ADHD, learning disability, psychological, educational, neurocognitive, and functional capacity evaluations.

Life and relationships are full of challenging, yet rewarding transitions. These transitions provide an opportunity to better understand ourselves and to strengthen our relationships. When we recognize and understand our patterns of behavior we can then decide how we want to address them.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults but will work with most any person. I really enjoy working with people who are willing to take on some out-of-session work and return with insights or at least insight about what's not working. I see my job as helping to remove barriers to the experience of feeling whole, safe and complete and I have many tools to help remove those barriers. Our job will be to find the Centered Self and learn ways to return to that Self more often during the day as we can.

No Waitlist- schedule today! You’re worried about your child. They are struggling more than you anticipated and aren't their true selves lately. When you ask them what’s wrong, you get no information, but you sense something is off. If only you could see into their minds and figure out what they need to make the hurting stop. Being a parent is your greatest honor and your biggest frustration. What you've tried hasn't worked, you so badly want to reconnect with your child, but they seem farther and farther away these days.

Accepting New Clients for CBT! - Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
