Whether you're a couple navigating conflict or a teenager dealing with stress, relationships, or big decisions, my goal is to help you move forward with tools that work, no guesswork or generic advice. I work with couples to improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust. I also work with teens and their families to address issues like anxiety, depression, school challenges, identity development, and family tension. My approach is direct, supportive, and tailored to the specific needs of each client. I offer couples therapy, individual therapy for teens, and parent guidance. I can help with ADHD, mood issues & anxiety.
Every individual, couple, and family has their unique strengths and challenges. I will meet you or your family where you are, and we will look at yourself and your circumstances, together. I roll up my sleeves to identify what you or your family have tried and to forge a way forward that feels better.
Through our work, you will learn effective communication skills and productive ways of looking at your life. This approach is very useful in creating the future you want, rather than dwelling on the past. You, your child, or your family will complete our time together with a new set of tools to find consistency, confidence, and satisfaction.

I use a relational model that focuses on communication and finding solutions. I'm not a "nod and smile" therapist, work collaboratively, helping you resolve the problem so you can move forward. Whether you're navigating a difficult relationship, a teen's behavioral or emotional challenges, or family stress, I meet you where you are with honesty, warmth, and a clear plan.
