Are you and/or your child struggling with stress, depression, irritability, worry, relationship issues, identity issues? That's something that therapy can help with. Especially in the last two years, race and ethnicity as well as sexual orientation and gender identity have come into the forefront of our minds. Part of the mission of our practice is to support you in processing how being you in our society affects how you feel about yourself and ultimately your mental health. We want our clients to learn to appreciate the unique gifts that they bring as they process past experiences.

We all feel sad, stressed, or anxious at times. That's a normal part of life to me. But if these feelings are interfering with personal and family relationships, work, or your feelings of self-confidence, counseling can help you find a more satisfying path. Especially since the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic, mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and stress, have worsened. You may have increased your use of substances, hoping that they will help relieve your symptoms, only to find that they have made matters worse. Recognizing that you need outside assistance can be difficult.

Do you consider family time a dreaded activity? Do you avoid going home because you know your child is acting out and on your last nerve, your teen is spending more time in their room and becoming quiet and withdrawn, and your partner is distant and unconcerned? Maybe you've tried reaching out for help but couldn't seem to find the right therapist.

I draw from the person-centered model of therapy, incorporating mindfulness techniques, trauma-informed care and expressive/art therapy techniques.

I work with a variety of different clients seeking help with many different issues. Many of my clients are teens and emerging adults seeking treatment to ease depression, anxiety, need help managing their time, or the time and space to discover their purpose. I also work with parents of teens and emerging adults seeking to find ways to relate to and ease conflict with their children. My clients seek treatment in order to feel heard from an unbiased person. They seek clarity and a path through life’s difficult twists and turns.
