For some of us the world is a more difficult place that it is for others. It is not our fault and there is nothing wrong with us. For some of us the world is not safe, the people in our world have made it unsafe, and we have fought by ourselves for ourselves. It is not our fault, and we should be proud that we are still here, that we still love ourselves enough to fight, and to ask for help. If this describes you - I am here to help. I will believe in you, challenge you, speak truth to you, teach you skills and techniques, and help you help yourself. Together, we can discover how to make your world what you want it to be.

Life can feel overwhelming, and seeking support is a courageous step toward finding balance. Many children and adolescents I work with struggle with anxiety, life transitions, or self-esteem, often feeling disconnected from themselves or others. They want to feel understood, heard, and empowered to overcome these challenges. My goal is to create a safe space where we can explore emotions, celebrate strengths, and work toward personal growth. I use an eclectic approach with clients, collaborating to create personalized plans that meet their needs. Together, we will navigate their unique paths to healing and resilience.

Has your experience of life become so painful that you are desperately searching for a reason to live? Have you been “putting in the work” with therapy, medication, and using coping skills, but nothing seems to really get better and you’re not sure where else to turn? I not only spent years in traditional treatment, but I dedicated my life to understanding the mind and mental health…and nothing stopped the suffering. After exhausting all options, I began looking outside the box, and eventually found what I had always been looking for: a way out. Not a way out of the body, but a way out of the mind that was torturing me.
