I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who are facing social, emotional and behavioral challenges. My specialty is in helping my clients to overcome issues with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and ADHD.

Life can be challenging, and at times feel like an emotional rollercoaster. I am here to work with you as you navigate life’s rollercoaster and find a balance. In my years of experience working with individuals and their families, I have come to appreciate the importance of collaborative approach with individuals. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and I am here to assist and support you in that process. I approach therapy from a holistic approach where there is a balance between the mind and the body.

If your child is experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, or struggling with anger management and behavior issues, you are one step closer to finding a solution by searching for a provider like myself who can help with your child's mental health needs.

I specialize in women, mothers, people pleasers, perfectionists and neurodivergent humans. If this is you : you might feel stressed out, burnt out or anxious. You may feel depressed, lonely or isolated. You may be too hard on yourself for not being perfect. You may struggle with low self-esteem or not feeling good enough. You give everything to your family, your job, your partner and have nothing left for you. You are so busy doing all of the things you don't have time to truly take care of yourself. Your tank is empty. You may even wonder how you can keep doing this day after day. This is not how you want your life to be.

Are you stuck? Have you tried the traditional paths of medication and therapy and been unsatisfied with the outcome? Would you like to address the root cause and directly train your brain to become more efficient and effective? I am a registered nurse who worked in the hospital providing direct patient care for 20 years. I have witnessed the debilitating effect that dysregulated nervous systems have on patient's mental and physical well being. Traditional treatments of medication and therapy alone may not be sufficent for addressing brain dysregulation.

Are you dealing with a crisis or life event that is causing you distress? Our experiences often affect the way we manage our emotions, perform at work or school, and get along with others. When these experiences are negative, we can get stuck in patterns that prevent us from working up to our potential and enjoying life. I provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment where you can clarify your feelings and develop a plan for action that will start you on your road to recovery.

I received my masters in social work from the University of St. Thomas and have spent my career working with youth and adolescent clients. Using an individualized approach, I work with clients with a variety of developmental disabilities and severe and persistent mental illnesses. This includes Autism Spectrum Disorder, mood disorders, and impulse control disorders.

I enjoy working with adults, children (ages 10+), pre-teens, teens and their families. I have extensive experience addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, self-esteem/ self-concept, social/ emotional difficulties, co-occurring mental health diagnoses, grief and loss, parenting, emotional difficulties related to family of origin, and issues related to adoption and kinship care for all members of adoptive and kinship families, particularly attachment related difficulties.
