My ideal clients are unsure and afraid of what their mental and emotional health journey may look like, but they do it anyway. Seeking help for your emotional health is no different than caring for your physical health. I have learned from my experiences as a parent, collaborating, and learning from countless diverse individuals and families … there is no right way to navigate difficult times. We all hold unique experiences and beliefs. I believe a collaborative approach that allows for exploring strengths, values, and culture aids in helping individuals and families navigate difficult times.

My ideal client would be between the ages of 7-12 and would be seeking help with anxiety-related struggles. Their needs would include cognitive restructuring & coping skill building to assist in their goals of decreasing their anxiety symptoms and better handling of transitions/change. The client would want to better understand what anxiety is and how it is connected to the symptoms they are experiencing. They would also want to know that anxiety can be normal and that they are not the only one who struggles with similar symptoms, understanding that therapy is healthy and helpful and can help use and build their existing strengths.

Raising challenging children can be exhausting and frustrating. You feel guilty about not being able to fix your child's behavioral problems and confused about what to do next.

I choose to approach therapy in a way that addresses each unique person as a whole with many complex components contributing to their current state. Through empathy and genuine interaction, I seek to understand each person in the moment. I provide a warm and caring therapeutic environment that lets clients explore the problems they are looking to change. My goal is to help clients make changes to find happiness and fulfillment by offering interventions and information for success.

I know how hard it is to want things in your life to change but not know how to change them. You know what your goals are and how you’d like to feel but there doesn’t seem to be a path to get there. Therapy is a great place to share your goals so together we can create a path. I believe many problems start in the past and we can see that best in the present. Frequently we will work together on what’s going on now, in the present, and then work on understanding and resolving the past if you want to explore it.
