Is your child or teen struggling with transitions? Does everything end up in a power struggle? Are they frequently anxious and angry?

Helping them regulate big emotions may be difficult for you and lead to frustration and confusion. I can support your child or teen in learning to regulate their emotions.

Based on research, training, experience and a lifelong mission to help others, I have spent the last 25+ years supporting others, especially trauma and abuse victims, on their healing journeys. I focus on strengths, potential and capacity, while facilitating an individual healing process. Patients often tell me, "I don't like therapy, but I like working with you!" I bring my whole self to the process. Ultimately, it is your time, your life. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and whole. I am here to support you in becoming your version of healthy and whole!

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and difficult, especially when we feel alone in the journey. Drawing on my previous experiences, I am passionate about working with individuals who struggle with trauma , abuse, depression, anxiety and PTSD . As an EMDR trained therapist, I have worked extensively with those who have experienced trauma and mood disorders. There is light at the end of the tunnel and healing can be achieved.

I enjoy building relationships with children, adolescents, and adults to help them manage their emotions and to give them voice. Creating a space of unconditional respect and acceptance, I strengthen children and their parents to do the work of therapy. I work with children ages 3 -18 and their parents on attachment, trauma , depression, anxiety, and more. I am passionate about facilitating connection among family members to create an environment where children grow and thrive, and their parents feel competent and effective. I also work with adults.

You are allowed to go to therapy even if your life is perfect on paper. Therapy can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be. I realize that no two people or situations are the same and as such I tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma processing.
