Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MS

I am not currently accepting new clients, and my waitlist is full. Feeling unsupported, unhappy and stuck prevents you from living a full and authentic life. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel good about themselves, their relationships and to be released from the past, no matter how difficult. I work with children, adults and families who are moving through times of strain and stagnation in their lives, looking to improve communication, build better connections and break old patterns that do not serve.

Is your child scared at night? Experiencing nightmares or refusing to sleep in their own bed? Is coronavirus keeping you and your family in a constant state of panic and fear? Does your teen struggle with OCD or social avoidance? As a parent, do you feel hopeless and at your wit's end? I am here to help you. As someone who specializes in the treatment of childhood and adolescent phobias, anxiety, and fears, I recognize the toll these struggles take on parents and the family system as a whole. In addition to OCD and anxiety, I also help my clients build confidence in themselves and work with them to build healthy relationships.

I'm glad you're here! I have openings for Telehealth counseling! We all face challenges and unfortunately, the expectation is - don't talk about it, avoid and distract from the fears and uncomfortable emotions that are triggered. If you're a parent or caregiver, that speaks to another layer of difficulty in coping with your own triggers, as well as what your child or other family member(s) may be struggling with! You are not alone and we are not meant to do life alone. Contact me to receive support to address issues related to ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Parenting challenges, Relationship Issues, Self-Harm & related safety concerns.
