Sometimes life can simply be too much for us to cope with alone. The loss of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship, or other traumatic events can leave us feeling hopeless or lost. Counseling helps by providing us with the time and space to think about our problems, and the tools we need to work through them.

For many of us, currently, the world seems uncertain and overwhelming. There are so many things to worry about ranging from job security, your family, your relationships with friends and intimate partners, and, now, your health. While we cannot predict the future, we can manage how we respond to our present circumstances.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, and young adults using a variety of different therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Though it may be challenging at first, I can help you learn that although you cannot always change the circumstances in which you find yourself, you can choose how to respond to them, thus relieving stress, building resilience, improving focus, practicing gratitude, and improving overall well-being.

Life can throw a lot of different types of demands on us. If you've ever felt stressed or confused trying to navigate all these roles, you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help.
