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.

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.
