I work with pre-teens, teens, and young adults who need social-emotional support but aren't receiving it from those around them. Many clients have experienced trauma, particularly from foster care or adoption, and struggle with identity, trust, and emotional regulation. My personal experience growing up in foster care and adopting eight boys gives me an empathetic understanding of my clients’ challenges, allowing me to build trust and offer meaningful support. I also guide parents whose children are struggling with drugs or alcohol, helping families improve communication, rebuild trust, and create coping strategies.
Having grown up in foster care and adopting eight boys, I deeply understand the trauma that impacts identity and emotional development. My approach blends empathy and personal experience, offering a safe space where clients feel heard. I help individuals and families heal, build trust, and develop healthier coping strategies for growth and resilience.
Reaching out for help can be tough, especially when support feels out of reach. If you're dealing with trauma, identity struggles, or family challenges, you're not alone. A quick Google search will show you who I am and why I do this work. My goal is to offer the support you deserve. Let's connect and start the healing process.

I see many parents and their adolescent children and help them navigate ever changing relationships. I assist young adults and couples in identity development as typical life experiences dictate the way they see themselves and who they become as a result of their life's journey. I am also proficient in traversing entitlement systems such as social security disability, OPWDD, and VESID.

I often use Brief Solution-Based Therapy (BSBT), which focuses on practical solutions to current challenges by highlighting strengths, resources, and actionable steps. Techniques include goal-setting, scaling progress, identifying past successes, and the 'Miracle Question.' BSBT builds on small wins, fosters collaboration, and emphasizes solutions while addressing limits and boundaries.
