Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Has your life become overwhelming? Could you use help navigating a major life transition, changes in a relationship or grief and loss? Maybe you are coping with family transitions like divorce, parenting worries or the unique concerns of adoption and foster care. Whatever you are going through there is no need to face it alone-I'm here to help. We will work together to explore your life and identify meaningful changes that can be made so that you can move toward healing and growth.
My approach to counseling is person centered with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I will use techniques from a variety of theoretical orientations to ensure that your treatment will be suited to your unique needs and goals.
Therapy should be like talking to a trusted friend or family member, safe, supportive and free of judgement. I strive to create that space for you where you can feel comfortable sharing your concerns and confident that you are receiving the support you need. Let's work together handling life's challenges and move toward the growth and balance you deserve.

I work with children using both directive and non-directive play therapy. For teens and adults I will primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to show how thoughts affect our emotions and behavior. During the first few sessions we will explore why you are seeking therapy and work to set goals for treatment.
