Asking for help is difficult, but it is also one of the most courageous acts a person can take. I understand that difficulty and strive to greet you with the warmth, empathy, and acceptance that you deserve. Working with and supporting people is at the heart of who I am and what I do, and I believe that an authentic relationship is essential for successful outcomes.
I have worked with children, adults, and families across schools, inpatient, and outpatient settings, providing evaluation and treatment of school and behavioral problems, developmental disabilities, relationships, and trauma. My approach is client centered, and I use well-known, research-supported techniques.
Life is a journey, and it is my goal to offer hope and healing to children, adolescents, and families through ALL life's journeys. I am currently accepting referrals for individual and family therapy, as well as psychological and academic evaluations. Call to schedule your appointment today!
