Immediate openings available. Schedule now by clicking on my website. Are you or your child struggling to cope after experiencing something stressful? Are you in an unhealthy environment, or recovering from one? Perhaps you are transitioning into a new chapter of life and the old ways of coping are no longer working. Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression and anxiety? I'm here to support you. Through the therapeutic relationship, you will learn new skills for coping with emotions, and learn new skills to navigate your world, and your relationships so that you can flourish.
I have specialized training in helping children and teens cope with anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as the challenges that come with being neuro-divergent.
Feeling hopeless about your circumstances can be debilitating. You don't have to feel that way any longer. Please reach out and I'd be happy to talk with you about the services and support I can offer.

I practice from a framework of client-centered therapy. You hold the answers about what you need and my job is to help guide you to those solutions you hold inside you. When supporting clients in taking steps to change their lives, I use CBT and DBT to encourage the use of new skills. The first few sessions are used to build a relationship and better understand your needs and goals.
