Does your child, adolescent, or teen exhibit concerning behaviors at home or school? I believe we should strive to look beyond the concerning behaviors exhibited by our children. What if we shift the perspective from viewing the behavior as problematic to seeing the behavior as a form of communication? My goal as a therapist is to translate this form of communication to create a bridge of understanding between caregivers and their children. As an adult, “adulting” is hard. Therapy can be a positive outlet to explore new coping skills and a self-care routine. It can also be a place to process through life stressors or trauma.

Hello and welcome to my counseling page. My primary focus is to provide counseling, hope and healing in our sessions. You are wanted and welcomed here.

Are you consumed with worry about your child and family? Is your child acting out, anxious or depressed? I can provide a safe therapeutic space for your child to express themselves while learning how to manage their anger, anxiety, depression or other issues. I have 25+ years helping children throughout my career as an elementary teacher and high school counselor. Being a registered play therapist makes me uniquely qualified to help younger children ages 5-11 and adolescents ages 12-18.

You're tired of regular "talk therapy" and are sick of being stuck in a cycle that leaves you feeling burnt out. Maybe you are LGBTQ+ or Neurodivergent and need someone who understands the nuances of that. Do you want to learn distress tolerance skills to use in moments where it seems like the overwhelming emotions you feel are a dangerous tidal wave about to crash around you? Are you a caretaker who has discovered how overstimulating parenting is and want to improve your own emotional regulation so that you can help your child regulate? You are capable of the hard things. Let me help you find that capability within yourself!

Seeking help from someone you have never met and discussing your most challenging life obstacles can be very uncomfortable and scary. However, at some point in our lives, searching for guidance and support outside of our friends and family may be needed in order to get you to your desired goal in life. Or maybe you are on the right path, but simply need validation and support. Whether your goals are decreasing anxiety, assisting with family conflict, or guidance with trauma, I can assist you with your desired outcome. I work with all ages from diverse backgrounds.

I have a strong passion for supporting caregivers who have recently received a diagnosis for their child, whether it be a mental health, developmental, or medical diagnosis. My goal is to normalize these emotions and offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment for caregivers to navigate through this journey without feeling isolated.

Life is hard. Family is hard. Raising kids is hard. You want someone who can help when everything in your daily life is affected, including our thoughts, emotions and resulting behaviors. Also, impacting the way your body feels, and ultimately how you experience YOU and your relationships. You may feel overwhelmed or stuck, unsatisfied in your relationship, anxious, or wondering if things can change or things can get better. There is hope, and we are here. We have many clinicians at all locations that are experienced and ready to help, including affordable options.

We all have times where we just feel a little (or a lot) overwhelmed, even though most of us pretend we don’t (myself included). Or times when we think, “Nothing I’m doing is working with my kid (or husband, wife, sister, bestie, aunt, grandma, well…you get the idea)!” We delude ourselves into thinking everyone else has it all figured out. They don’t. And, it’s okay that you don’t. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, at a loss for how to help your loved one, or just unsure of the next steps in your relationship, therapy can help.

You were always told that education, hard work, dedication, and grit would get you where you needed to be. Instead of feeling like you “have it all”, you feel numb and exhausted. It feels like you have a very short fuse these days and are likely to snap at any little thing. You end each workday feeling drained, and simply unable to show up for your friends and family. It seems like you’re giving all of your energy to things and people that aren’t really important to you. In your extensive list of tasks and constant stimuli, it’s hard to take a step back and assess ways you can reclaim control in your life. But what if you could?
