Raising children can be challenging (to say the least!). As parents, we often encounter situations with our kids or adolescents that we need help navigating. I can help with these challenges. Finding a counselor who is the 'right fit' for your situation and your family is important. My goal is to make this as comfortable as possible. I provide an atmosphere of trust, support and acceptance which will allow you and your child to explore concerns in an emotionally safe environment. I'm happy to consult with you by phone to help determine the next steps your child and family.

Trying to have a baby can be challenging. Infertility and pregnancy loss can effect your identity, life plans, relationships, and your coping strategies. Many individuals and couples going through infertility feel helpless, sad, isolated, angry, guilty, jealous of pregnant friends and family, frustrated, and nervous about the future. It is often difficult to make decisions about treatment, especially when partners do not agree on the next step. Very often, people find it hard to think or talk about anything other than having a baby. The idea of feeling and experiencing joy may feel inconceivable.

Change is a difficult yet rewarding process to engage in. I enjoy working with children and families, as well as adolescents and adults on a variety of stressors and issues. I have worked with children ages 13 and up who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, reunification therapy and academic difficulties. I promote change through solution focused, family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy. I hope to create a comfortable and nuturing environment for my clients with a feeling of safety throughout their journey.

At times we all need help sorting out life's complexities. Welcome! I have successfully treated anxiety, depression, socialization difficulties and stress related conditions for over 10 years. I provide a down to earth approach to counseling, focusing on creating an atmosphere for clients to safely explore feelings, thoughts and behaviors in a compassionate and judgement-free environment. Over the course of therapy you will identify destructive thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, and learn how to address the chronic patterns that cause difficulties.

At some point, everyone faces difficulty that can impact their quality of life. As a clinician, I value the uniqueness of each individual, couple, or family member and offer a safe and comfortable space for you to examine yourself, your life and relationships without judgment - guiding you to understand more clearly who you are, what you’re capable of, and what you want out of life. In therapy, each conversation offers an opportunity to understand yourself while creating a sense of well-being - ultimately leaving you with a greater sense of peace, contentment, and a capacity for joy in relationships with yourself and others.

My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to come to a full, contextual understanding of your strengths and concerns, and build and work towards achievable goals which align with what is most salient to you. It is important to me to provide a gentle, non-judgmental space in which you can feel heard and supported throughout our work together.
