Hello and welcome, I'm so glad you're here! I applaud and honor you for the strength it takes to reach out for help. I've successfully treated adults and teens with life transitions, anxiety and depression, as well as parents of special needs kids, for over 25 years. Whether it's day to day issues or trauma you've experienced that brings you to therapy, I work to decrease negative thoughts and behaviors. My focus is to put you back in charge of your life.
I specialize in navigating life transitions such as parenthood, workforce reentry, starting college or reclaiming your sense of self. Let's help you feel like yourself again.
In addition to cognitive behavioral work with a humanistic slant, I also use EMDR which has been successful in reducing negative thinking patterns and upsetting memories/flashbacks.
As a special needs mom myself, it's my passion to work with special needs parents to support you on this journey as it's filled with many joys and challenges.
I work collaboratively with my clients to help them see alternative ways of thinking and being in the world while increasing their sense of self-worth. My approach is warm, interactive and person-centered. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
