Are you feeling overwhelmed and ready for a change? Most of us are pulled in so many different directions these days it is easy to feel anxious or depressed. When difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings interfere with relationships, goals, work, and home responsibilities, counseling can make a difference. I believe even the strongest people can benefit from a caring, unbiased ear to help them overcome life’s struggles. I help children, adolescents, adults, and families with a range of behavioral, emotional, and relational difficulties, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-injury, social problems, and trauma.

Whether you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or just trying to figure this life thing out, you don’t have to do this alone. I specialize in working with adults and teens to begin to understand themselves more clearly and help them identify unhealthy patterns and stuck places to create positive changes. Many times clients begin to experience relief and growth in a relatively short time. That relief motivates them to continue this process to build more resilience and self-awareness. They often come away feeling they’ve gotten more results than they ever thought could happen.

I help children develop skills for managing their emotions and behaviors. This includes teaching them how to identify negative thought patterns, understand the impact of their thoughts on their emotions, and apply healthier thinking patterns to various situations. My goal is to make therapy not only rewarding but fun! I love to incorporate games, crafts, and activities to make therapy more inviting.

Churchill famously said, “If you are going through hell, keep going.” As people, we sometimes forget that the difficult moments can be temporary. The best way to survive them is to get through them. The same goes for the variety of emotions we feel. Sometimes, we just have to accept the emotions and identify ways to cope with them and get through them. Helping others through these journeys has been a passion of mine. I have often found the use of DBT, CBT, and PCT to be highly effective in helping people work through trauma based, anxiety ridden, and mood dis-regulated human conditions. I provide complete and compassionate work.
