Are you feeling hopeless, or more lethargic than usual? Have you recently experienced a loss/death? Are you experiencing difficulties adjusting to a new environment? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes", or have questions of your own, it may be time to reach out and talk through those thoughts and feelings.

Hello and welcome. I’ve devoted my entire career to helping kids. Is your child, adolescent or young adult… Feeling depressed? Having unrealistic or unusual worries? Engaging in hair pulling or skin picking? Not speaking in social situations? Having anxiety when away from a parent? Experiencing low self-esteem? Struggling to make connections with peers? Trying to recover from a traumatic event? Concerned about their transition into middle school or high school? Having difficulty adjusting in college? Asking to speak to a therapist?

Life happens to all of us and we usually deal with it, but sometimes things get challenging and we cannot go it alone - we need "someone" to walk with us. So, whether you are a parent trying to manage your child’s behavior or support your child in school; an individual seeking personal development or dealing with mental illness; or a family going through transition, I want to be your "someone".
