Whether you are looking for support beyond talk therapy for yourself or for your
child
, help is close at hand. Life changes, problems from the past, and traumatic experiences can throw us and our kids off balance, getting in the way of growth. It is hard to see and feel the hurt but not know what to do. I offer safe, creative, and caring interventions for
children
, teens, and adults who are facing difficulties with life's challenges (stress, loss, change, trauma) and the related impact on thought patterns, emotional regulation, problematic behaviors, relationship difficulties, and the ability to communicate & cope effectively.

Psychologist, PhD, LP

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers,
children
, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

I encourage you to take the time to explore your inner
child
in our counseling sessions.
I believe that who we are as adults is impacted by our upbringing. I value gaining understanding of the client’s childhood experiences. There are certain experiences that take place during childhood and adolescence that impact individuals as adults, many of which adults often brush off as being insignificant or unimpactful. I believe that gaining an understanding of a person's childhood experiences and family dynamics should be the basis of all counseling relationships, it is important to start at the beginning of a person’s life.

The teenage years are a time of great difficulty for many. It is marked by the state of being a
child
, while simultaneously being pulled in the direction of adulthood. As a therapist, I seek to empower teens to find their own voice during this process and help them navigate through the rough landscape of adolescence. As a parent, it may be challenging to know exactly how to support them during this time. As your
child
’s therapist, I believe in also assisting you in improving your relationship with your
child
.
