Do you/your child struggle with depression, anxiety, stress of a busy life, low self-esteem or relationship issues? Are you/your child experiencing difficulties at school/work or struggling with life transitions? I am here to support you in identifying goals, finding strategies to cope, and addressing these challenges. Making the decision to start your therapeutic journey is a significant decision, and I am here to guide you through every step. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and enjoy working with clients of all ages.

Each year new research emerges highlighting the importance of intimate relationships on personal health and wellness. People who have satisfying connections with family, friends, and their community are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer. For these reasons, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve the quality of the relationships they have with themselves and those around them. I provide practical information about intimate, long-term connection (based on current research), and offer specific strategies in response to clients' challenges and problems. My approach is collaborative, experiential, and strengths-based.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy working with children, individuals, couples, and families on developing healthier ways of perceiving, communicating, and interacting with ourselves and with one another. Life can just happen so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate the people and things around us. I want to help slow down these moments and to build upon what matters which are our own self-worth and the relationships in our life.

Sometimes it seems that life has given us more than we can handle, and in times like these we may need others to help along the way. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between myself and the individuals, couples, and families I work with. I bring a non-anxious presence to the therapeutic process, and I work to create a casual and approachable space for you, your child, or your family. I work with those who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, peer difficulties, spiritual issues, family conflict, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Therapy is a unique experience in which trust and collaboration are built and developed over time between the therapist, client, and family members. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to look at the family as a system and how an individual client within the system is able to develop appropriate boundaries and healthy communication patterns. I utilize CBT, DBT and Play Therapy techniques. I am DBT trained and I am working towards certification in this area. I am also trained in Play Therapy and close to becoming a Registered Play Therapist. I work with children age 3-years to adults.

We know how important it is to have options when you decide to reach out for support. As a group of clinicians invested in your wellbeing, we provide individual and group counseling to adults, children (ages 4+), families, and couples.
