Inspiration is the key to successful change and growth. Although problems can have similar origins, we as unique human beings bring to our life a perspective that is different than anyone else. As such it is important that our uniqueness is valued and respected. In helping clients with their various issues, this is the cornerstone of my approach. I see my role as a mirror, helping you to craft a plan to get from where you are currently to where you want to be based on your value system. Remember, change starts from within.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

Being a kid, teen, or young adult these days is pretty complicated, and parenting can certainly feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes, challenges seem to appear out of nowhere, and other times, things have felt hard for a long time. Either way, counseling can help by providing a safe, trusted space to seek solutions, growth, and healing.

Peaceful family dinners, homework turned in on time, chores done without reminders. No fighting or yelling. Sounds amazing I know. I cannot promise any of that, but I can open up a space for kids, teens and parents to have conversations about what your family needs to feel love and peace. Yelling, shutting down, self-harm, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, all of that, is felt on the inside and by those around you. Kids often ask for help in hurtful ways when they are hurting on the inside. Teens will likely not acknowledge you or the pain. Come as you are. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is key in order for growth to happen. Once mutual respect and trust are established, I work toward gaining a deeper understanding of the client, their needs, and what obstacles they’ve found themselves faced with. I offer a space of non-judgment, empathy, and support in which clients can feel safe to open up and share their authentic selves. Upon meeting, I'll work with the client to create a treatment plan and goals, knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. I most commonly work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and family issues.
