Everyone deserves a safe place to express their emotions, find the inner strength needed to make fulfilling change and be their best self. I believe that no two people experience life the same way and I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that works best for your needs and goals in a compassionate and judgment-free space. Change can be difficult. It is my hope that therapy can help you feel empowered to meet that difficulty with the strength and resources necessary for living a balanced and mentally well life.

Not all of us are given the book on how to have healthy and fulfilling relationships with others or ourselves. It takes courage to explore and share what we are struggling with and begin to write (or rewrite) our book on how we want to feel and be in the world. You deserve to experience connection, relief, and acceptance in order to feel secure enough to explore and take risks in life. My goal is to get curious about the blocks that keep you from experiencing those qualities and collaborate with you to remove them.

I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a licensed psychologist who specializes in treatments proven to increase children's positive feelings and ability to cope. I work with children ages 6-17. Some areas of treatment interest are anxiety, phobias, trauma, and adjustment issues (such as grief, divorce, food allergies). I have a certified therapy dog named Willow. If clients do not want Willow in session, then she is not a part of therapy. Willow is an mini Aussiedoodle, which means she has minimal shedding and is more allergy-friendly.

How can I tell my troubles to a stranger? What will they think of me? Part of mental health therapy is creating a safe space for people to come to and talk about whatever they want to talk about.

It is important to me to give you the space you need. I specialize in helping narcisisstic/gaslighting survivors, autism spectrum disorder, self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, kids 12 and over, adults, individuals, and families.

Reach out by email for fastest contact. The most powerful predictor of whether therapy will be effective is your relationship with your therapist. Finding the right one can feel overwhelming but you are already on your way. My approach is warm, empathetic and straightforward. I am accepting and direct in nature while focusing on strengths and growth. I do not "beat around the bush" as they say, while also being understanding and kind. I know how important it is to find the right "fit" with a therapist so I offer free 30 minute intro sessions so you can determine if I am the right therapist for you.
