Therapy is an intricate process that requires connection, collaboration and dedication. Children experience unique challenges that are best treated with guidance from a professional and support from their peers.

I practice from a trust based relational intervention (TBRI) perspective and firmly believe that therapuetic rapport is the foundation of a successful working relationship with children.

Are you feeling unfulfilled, stressed, or hopeless? Do you desire to find purpose, direction, or simply understand yourself better? Many of our feelings and thoughts are outside of our awareness and continue to influence our everyday choices. Left unattended, these feelings and thoughts can come out in unhealthy ways – often resulting in depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and/or low self-esteem. As a result, we can feel powerless to change our current circumstances and end up self-sabotaging what we want out of life.

Openings (VIRTUAL): Tues: 12P,(biweekly) 2P, 3P, 4P, Wed: 12P, 1P Thurs: 11A Therapy unfortunately has a negative stigma. Due to this stigma, people are robbed out of their chances to reach their full potential and quality of life, because there is a fear of being judged, a fear of being misunderstood..and most importantly- the fear of addressing our deepest emotions, thoughts, & experiences. The thought of therapy may be anxiety provoking. As your therapist you will have a choice, you will be heard, you won’t be alone. Allow me to provide the supportive environment you deserve to reach your full potential and ideal quality of life.
