I offer comprehensive evaluations that provide valuable information about barriers to a child's success, identify gifts and strengths, and clarify diagnoses.

Serving as a long-term partner with you, I provide support beyond the evaluation to help your child receive the services that they need.

Modern day life is overwhelming; we're all having to balance our regular roles and responsibilities, while navigating the uncertainty of what life will look like while we deal with COVID for the foreseeable future.

In truth, those who care enough about their emotional health to seek professional counseling are the strong fortunate ones. We have all been wounded, have suffered loss, or are otherwise affected by events that may have happened in our lives--you don't have to be the victim of those things!

Do you wake up each morning feeling excited and enthusiastic in anticipation the day ahead? Or do you find yourself feeling depressed, uninspired, anxious or just unfulfilled? Are you suffering from long-term Narcissistic abuse? We are influenced by our life experiences, some of these lead to inaccurate, limited beliefs about ourselves. Once you learn to identify and understand these beliefs, life changes. The path to happiness and wholeness involves getting to know your true self, transcending your perspective and embracing your highest potential and purpose. When you change your state of mind, you change your state of being.

Will I just be misunderstood and be told what to do?” When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life.

As a therapist, I feel it is most important for a client to feel heard, safe, cared for, and understood by the therapist they choose.

I enjoy working with motivated clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives. I support my clients with patience, guidance, empathy, and understanding throughout each unique journey.
