My goal is to provide highly affordable, high quality mental health therapy to those I work with. I have a youthful and energetic personality. I am highly interactive during sessions.

I have been working with families with children, adolescents, and young adults for ninteen years. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families that seek treatment for emotional and behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, anger and stress management, grief and loss, and self-harm and aggressive behaviors. Many times, both adult and young members of a family need therapeutic support when emotional and behavioral issues are present. I also have experience working with clients to increase age appropriate communication and social skills in order to develop and maintain positive relationships. I am able to see clients with or without the members of their families.

Are the circumstances of life taking you away from work, family, and friends? Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? You can’t manage it all and you can only take so much. On top of all of this, you are not sleeping, eating, or taking care of yourself physically. If most of these examples sound like you, then you might need a safe space to untangle and unwind. Therapy with me lets you have this experience. If you are finally ready to take this step, I am willing to do everything in my power to support you in any way that I can!
