I have experience working with children 5+, adolescents, and adults dealing with stress, low self-esteem, attachment/family of origin issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Reaching out for help can be daunting, but rest assured that acknowledging your emotional needs is a worthwhile endeavor. We can all benefit from having a safe and supportive place to turn to when life becomes overwhelming. From handling school and/or job related stress to processing family of origin issues or anxiety, you do not have to walk this journey alone. If you are looking for someone to help you or your child navigate through the stress of life and work with you to reach future goals, I would be happy to assist you.

I have been working with children and teens for many years as a former teacher.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your OWN story! You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. You want to connect with someone who is real and can empathize with your experience. I am as real as they get! The first step, making a call to a therapist, can be the most difficult step of the entire process. Take a moment and a few deep breaths and call to see how I can help. Life is too short to be weighed down with stress, anxiety, or trauma from past experiences. You deserve to be free of emotional worries and able to create a life worth living.

Hello! It's a joy for me to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask questions about what’s normal and what isn't -i.e., "Am I a bad parent because my child doesn't listen?" or "Is something wrong with me because my relationships keep failing?" I work to provide an open environment for my clients to both process these questions and find solutions. My ideal client values both their personal and loved ones’ mental health. It's an honor to come alongside adults and children with painful histories and increase healthy options for your future.

I’ll guide your child back to their smiley self again.
You’ve tried everything, but your child is struggling despite your best efforts. You’re constantly managing their tear-streaked tantrums or sullen silences. “Time outs” don’t work, rewards don’t work, you want to pull your hair out sometimes. You’ve tried talking to them, but they won’t tell you what they need. You wish you could read their mind. Pain and anxiety are written all over your child’s face. You so badly want to help but don’t know how. The helplessness and guilt you feel to see them suffer are almost too much to bear. You’ll never give up searching for a way to help them. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your child.
