Hello! I have been working with children, adolescents and families for more than 10 years. I work well with Oppositional Defiance, Aggression, Behavioral Issues and Conflict Resolution. I have heard many times from my clients that I am "not like other therapists" and I have a way of interacting with pre-teens and teenagers so that they feel validated and heard. I have a passion for understanding others and those around me in a way that they feel comfortable. The relationship between therapist and client should be unique and creative.

I inspire individuals to create and empower themselves to move past those issues which inhibit growth and self acceptance. I work to instill hope and motivation in adolescents and adults of all ages. I have worked in a variety of settings which include: college, outpatient treatment and equine therapy. I utilize motivational counseling, solution focused, cognitive behavioral, existential and human centered therapy. My experience has been in working with individuals struggling with stress management, depression, trauma, ADHD. PTSD, relationship issues, and grief/loss.

"Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it"-Mary Oliver. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable telling about your life, obstacles you may be facing, or areas where you desire to change can feel daunting. I strive to build a collaborative relationship with you/your child to understand your struggles, help you gain insight about issues that may be beyond your awareness, and provide you with tools and skills that will help you/your child manage emotions, and work through life’s challenges. My approach is integrative and flexible, with the use of strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy.
