My ideal clients are adolescents or adults needing evaluation after experiencing sudden emergence of mental health symptoms or hospitalization. They or their loved ones seek clarity in understanding their condition and charting a path toward healing. I also provide adult ADHD evaluations and pre-evaluations for clients considering psychedelic-assisted therapies. Finally, I provide short-term therapy for those experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal trouble, or otherwise seeking a better way of relating to life.

We all face various challenges in life. If your child is struggling in any way, it is natural to sometimes feel discouraged or overwhelmed. Perhaps you’ve noticed behavioral changes, or maybe they seem anxious, depressed, or angry. Whatever your concerns may be, I assure you that it is not too late! I am dedicated to helping you and your child or adolescent overcome their challenges and thrive. The therapy I offer will help them explore thoughts and emotions, work through any difficult experiences, and discover their inner strengths.

You are brave, curious and brilliant but feel like you are an imposter and never good enough. You have tried people pleasing and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement strategies but can’t shake off the feeling of not being worthy. You long for true belonging, confidence and to live your most authentic expression by releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. You are not alone. I believe that we all have inherent within us expansive wisdom, and capacity to heal. We can't always access our truest Self because of past trauma, societal pressures and habitual patterns that keep us disengaged from our true nature.

My ideal client is an adolescent attending high school, whose dealing with emotional issues in their school settings, they're in need of some guidance in determining an appropriate identity and career path. They're seeking vocational guidance from a lack of understanding of the world of work and how their unique abilities and skills fit into it.

Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

Children, adolescents and young adults sometimes experience stress related to school, activities, challenges at home, or periods of transition. These stressors may lead to mood swings, changes in behavior and difficulty expressing emotions and thoughts. My role as a therapist is to help kids and young adults cope with stress and learn strategies to maintain an emotionally balanced life. I provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and then work with individuals and families to develop an individualized treatment plan that draws from the client's existing strengths. I utilize evidence-based treatment primarily drawing from CBT.

“You may not have signed up for a hero’s journey, but the second you fell down, got your butt kicked, suffered a disappointment, screwed up, or felt your heart break, it started. It doesn’t matter whether we are ready for an emotional adventure—hurt happens. And it happens to every single one of us. Without exception.” - Brene Brown
