Let's start with honoring life... Due to my extensive background and years of professional experience, I am comfortable working with children, youth, adults, couples, and families. I started my training/experience with children and continued servicing all ages. I have worked in many venues of service: mental health, medical, educational, hospice, trauma, supervisory, administrative... providing services to people facing situations that are unknown or a challenge to them. Depression, anxiety (and all the features associated with these two diagnostics), as well as relational and other life issues, are areas that I service.

Everyday children, adolescents, and teens experience a number of stresses in various settings such at home, school, with family and/or friends on a day to day basis. My work with clients allows me to not only teach new strategies but to also provide time to practice as well as utilize various skills together in our sessions. This promotes the use of strategies when clients experience challenging situations and/or strong emotions outside of our sessions.

I recognize that coming into counseling can be one of the most challenging things a person can do for themselves. In my work I strive to meet every child, teen, adult, and parent where they are in order to be most effective in communicating. I take a collaborative approach in working towards an individual’s goals and along the way can provide education, support, and a new perspective. In my work I have used empirically supported theories to treat depression, anxiety, and OCD in both children/adolescents and adults. My hope for every client is that they feel empowered and able to take on life’s challenges.

You won't hear "It's going to be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it" when you come to me. I understand that the hour you pay for is your hour and you will get the chance to say whatever it is that you want to say guilt-free. Saying things out loud to a trained listener will help you understand your world view in a different way. In turn, you will develop insight and coping skills.
