I work with families, children, and teenagers to help equip them with skills needed to thrive in life, and resolve conflict. As a parent and youth volunteer within the community, my heart is for this young generation and the issues they face. Depression, anxiety, stress, and peer struggles threaten the emotional well-being of our kids. Sadly, suicide is now one of the leading causes of death for this age group. It’s imperative that our youth receive an outlet for their emotional stress and injury, and receive the coping skills to work through the obstacles they’ll face now and as adults.

I understand that seeking counseling for your child or yourself is not an easy decision & your comfort is important to me.
Sometimes in life we have experiences that lead us to places of confusion, shame, regret, unworthiness, fear, brokenness, emptiness and just an overall feeling of failure. When we make the brave step to ask for help, although scary, that is the first step in choosing ourselves and starting a journey to finding true freedom. If you or feeling stuck and you are looking for someone to help guide you on this journey, want a relaxed environment, but a straightforward and direct therapist who vows to treat you with respect and compassion then let’s talk.

My areas of focus include working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. In working through such issues, I believe in the power of building trusting and solid therapeutic relationships. Such relationships help clients feel less alone and help open the door to their journey of healing. In fact, within these relationships, clients can begin to tell their stories, feel heard, and start finding hope amidst their struggles. I believe in helping clients carry their burdens and holding onto their hope until they are able to do so themselves.

I work with adults, children (play therapy), teens, couples, and families of all backgrounds. Additionally, I work within your spiritual beliefs to address your issues according to your values.
