Contacting a therapist can be a difficult decision to make. You may already be exhausted by whatever life challenge that now leads you to seek help. Please, know that the hardest part will be getting yourself through my door. The hardest part of my job is usually to guide you in taking self judgement out of the equation and replacing it with empathy and patience. Kindness that you likely only reserve for others other than yourself.

Mental health is just as important as your physical health. Taking care of you and your family’s overall mental health and well-being is of utmost importance to me. Imagine recognizing your strengths and weaknesses, and gaining a better understanding of how to manage things. Imagine what it would feel like to have a different approach to dealing with issues that would bring a more positive or successful outcome. No matter what you’re dealing with, there is always hope and alternatives.

TEENS: I help teens (and young adults), beginning at age 15 years, who are feeling overwhelmed by depression or anxiety and the isolation that it brings. Through a combination of talk therapy and practical skills-building, we'll work together to resolve their burdens and develop a solution for overcoming their challenges. Working through the hard stuff (with a healthy dose of laughter to get through the pain) leads them to a place of peace and relief. Finally, they're able to find joy in being themselves.
