Therapy can be a scary undertaking, but I am here to offer a safe and non-judgmental environment in order to work together towards developing treatment goals. I understand that depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, low self-esteem and self-harm can impact daily functioning. We will work together to explore emotions and develop new and effective coping strategies. Working on improving communication skills and boundary setting can make a big difference!
I work with children, teens and adults in individual and family therapy. I have extensive outpatient and inpatient experience. I have knowledge and experience within the areas of adolescent mental health, autism and neurodivergence, school issues (truancy and development of IEP's), domestic violence, substance abuse, self-harm and suicidal thinking.
If you or your child/teen is struggling, reach out to me and we can discuss expectations and desired outcomes within treatment. We will work together within a compassionate and empathetic environment. Each clients unique personality, needs, strengths and challenges will be considered and incorporated into the therapeutic approach.
