With the knowledge that no two clients are alike, I employ different therapies depending on each circumstance. I work with adults, children, and families.

I'm delighted that you've found your way here and are considering therapy for yourself, your teenager, or your relationship. As a therapist specializing in working with teens, young adults, and couples, I am dedicated to providing a space where you can explore, heal, and grow. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and prioritize building a strong rapport with my clients based on trust, empathy, and understanding. I have worked in the field of mental health for 36 years, and have advanced training in couples therapy, addictions, teen and young adult issues, anxiety and depressive disorders.

My lifetime time passion has been working alongside those that at a certain point in their life seek support, acceptance and guidance. I see the therapeutic process as a shared journey, whether it is with an individual, a family, or a group. I incorporate in my work different therapeutic styles and provide a safe space for you to process your experiences. Because of my work with families, I also understand the need to be able to detect early academic and behavior difficulties in their children. The Mental Health Evaluation does just that. The earlier the detection of those difficulties the more successful that child will be in life.

My ideal clients are individuals who are not just seeking change, but are genuinely committed to the transformative process. They come with a readiness to work, displaying openness to feedback and a willingness to engage in self-reflection. These individuals are driven by a profound desire to make concrete changes in their lives, acknowledging that they currently find themselves feeling stuck. Their struggles encompass a yearning for more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of identity. These clients recognize that there is untapped potential within them and are eager to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

In Love We Learn provides support for individuals with sensorimotor differences (autism and otherwise), their families, and their team of practitioners. Sensorimotor differences can impact so much. Life is complex, and can become even more so when considering someone living with and experiencing these differences. Families may struggle to find clinicians who can provide fulfilling guidance and support. My clients are looking for someone who can provide a unique perspective to their families' care. They are looking to build an intentional lifestyle around their loved one who is motor-impacted.

Welcome! I pride myself in providing child & adolescent specific care that heavily emphasizes family engagement. I find more optimal outcomes in my work when parents are willing to become vulnerable and connect with their children. Too often, we become focused on what children are not doing right and on their pathology that we lose sight of the things they are good at and the things that make them precious and unique. I teach parents how to harness their children's strengths to aid them in overcoming their struggles. The heart of this work lies in connection. If a child does not feel connected and safe, they will not heal.

Everyone has the ability to heal from the deepest of wounds and the most challenging of circumstances. There's a saying, "Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt." I'm here to fully support you in tending to those places. Together we will journey into understanding the major themes and patterns in your life and what they are trying to teach you. This increased level of awareness can help you access your strength and intuition, eliminate negative self talk and choose a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, others and life. I offer a 15 minute meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit.

Every one of us is worthy of healing from deep wounds and being in healthy, meaningful relationships – with self and with others. The journey towards this healing may not always be easy or straightforward, but having a co-pilot to navigate it with relieves stress and helps avoid frustrating detours.

Whether I see you face to face in my office or tele heath (video or phone) I take an individual approach to working with each of my clients to address their specific needs and challenges. I am extremely approachable and sincerely care about helping you gain clarity and insight while progressing towards developing the skills necessary to independently problem solve in the future. Regardless of age we all have stressors, challenges, troubles, or a past that needs some attention. My past experiences have allowed me to extensively work with different treatment methods in various settings.

The evolving challenges of raising children involve the addition of new technology and an ever-increasing pressure to succeed. Keeping on top of these dynamics can at best overwhelm and at worst alienate those in even the most healthy families. Teens pass through a stage of fluctuating hormonal levels, while negotiating burgeoning independence, and navigating the waters of social media along with peer pressure. Meanwhile parents are dealing with keeping a household afloat, managing the family and their careers, while often having aging parents and/or dealing with grief over their loss. When teens and parents need a little help or mental health challenges require more effort for daily living than they should, learning new coping skills with or without medication can make a difference. Discovering what influences behaviors and learning ways to express what needs to be said can empower parents and their children to find more happiness and fulfillment in life. Sorting through these challenges and developing coping techniques that help organize and balance communication is my goal with all families and individuals.

Why does it feel like you’re living for everyone but yourself? Your family relies on you for everything from dinner plans to school projects. You take on extra assignments at work even when your plate is overflowing. Friends ask you for favors, and you can’t say no. You wish there was a way to create time for yourself, but you hate the idea of letting anyone down. So you keep pushing through. And no matter how hard you work, there’s still a voice in your head telling you it’s not enough. Fun is nonexistent, and you can’t remember the last time you did anything for yourself. You can’t go on like this, but change feels hopeless.
