Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Psychological Testing, Behavior, Parenting Education, and Suicide Prevention Specialist.The children & adults that meet with me will be seeking treatment for behavioral issues and/or depression/anxiety that may manifest in suicidal ideation/self harm.

Childhood is hard. Being a parent is hard. I work with individuals from infants (and their caregivers) to adults to help with these important and challenging life stages. Oftentimes we do not realize we have patterns of behavior that at one time protected us, yet now cause ourselves more harm. Through our work together, you will gain greater insight and understanding of these unhelpful cycles and your own life experiences, so you can create meaningful change in your life.

Or would you like to improve troubled relationships with your children or other family members? I specialize in couples and family therapy. I also see individual clients.

My area of expertise is in youth and family work. My goal as a professional counselor is to bridge the gap between youth and adults to foster positive and encouraging communication to build connection with in the relationship. This being stated, I also find the issues adults have when working with in their relationships with others are related. These issues often lead to disconnection, anxiety, depression, anger and a multitude of overwhelming emotions. I love working with those who struggle with how to connect with others and learning to find the path they need to be on to maximize their abilities to better connect with others.

I specialize in working with couples, adults, and college students. I also specialize in psychoeducational testing, including ADHD and Learning Disability evaluations.

During 20 years of providing therapeutic services, I have discovered all people have the ability to create change in their own life. I believe people have the desire to live their best life and sometime need support to find their way through the confusion and back to focusing on life goals. I utilize a strength based approach in a respectful and empathetic environment for clients to explore their issues and develop coping skills. I have significant experience working with children and adolescents with cognitive disabilities, as well as an extensive background working with issues such as anxiety, depression and life transitions.

I focus on helping children, adolescents, and adults move forward. Problems that can get in the way of moving forward include education and behavior problems, ADD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clinical tools include intellectual and psychological assessment and treatment interventions using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, or emotion focused therapy, which can guide you through to the goals you have set. We'll set these goals early in the session so that we can focus on achieving these goals.

Hi, I am so glad you are here. This is your first step in growing you! I have worked with clients of all ages, surrounding multiple issues; anxiety, depression, grief, crisis management, abuse, etc. My first priority in practice is to build a relationship with my clients. This allows me to help individuals set and achieve goals to reach a new potential. Come alongside me and we can work towards a better tomorrow.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

I hope to create a warm, validating, and safe space in which we can explore your life’s challenges and successes. Positive growth comes with understanding our past and how this impacts our actions and emotions. I am very familiar with the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as individuals who have alternative lifestyles and relationship styles. I am driven to help those around me in all aspects of their wellbeing. It is important that you feel welcomed and comfortable throughout your counseling journey.

Life will inevitably bring up intense emotions and feelings: shame, fear, confusion, etc. Overwhelming pressure, life transitions, past trauma, or simply the burden of daily stressors can pile on you until it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. When overwhelmed, you may find it relatively impossible to maintain close relationships with family, friends, and significant others. This can create a vicious cycle of anxiety, isolation, and hopelessness. It can feel like you have no way out of this bleak season.
