Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress of life? Maybe you're tired of worrying, overthinking, or never feeling good enough. Maybe your emotions are all over the place, you feel disconnected in your relationships, or you feel like you're a few steps behind where you "should" be. It might be hard to remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: You're ready for some relief. You’re ready to quiet your mind. Most of all, you’re ready to break free from the overwhelm and find calm, confidence, and balance in your life.

If your child struggles with sleep, meltdowns, toileting issues, anger, worry, inattention, problems following directions or routines, or challenging social and family interactions, I am able to work with you and your child to develop effective, positive, and supportive interventions. I help children and teens with autism, ADHD , and/or anxiety feel better and live their best lives. I love to use a collaborative, problem-solving style that plays to child and family strengths and individualizes strategies for your unique situation. I include animals in the therapy sessions, such as the child's dog or cat or my therapy dog.

People come to therapy for a lot of reasons, but many feel like they need a change from how things are. Some don’t know what it is that needs to change, and they want more insight about what new roads they might try walking down. Others know exactly the changes they want to make in their lives, but they need a safe place to say it out loud to themselves, and they want help along the way. Some can’t change their situation and still yearn to be at peace. Regardless of what brought you to session, my goal during our time together is to work with you to help you identify obstacles in your path.

My ideal client is someone open to the process of therapy. Someone who is willing to show up for themselves, and “put in the work”. My client may be someone dealing with anxiety, depression, or challenges of ADHD , such as Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. My client may be feeling in a rut or “stuck” in personal aspects of their life. My client may be challenged by different phases and stages of life, by not feeling capable or feeling easily overwhelmed. They want to engage in therapy and work on achieving their personal goals in a space where they are seen, heard, validated and encouraged.
