My work with children, teens, adults , and families usually begins when someone has reached their breaking point. What’s worked in the past is no longer effective and there is a feeling of being stuck and/or hopelessness. Whether you are dealing with self harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, trauma, or difficulties regulating emotions, thoughts and behaviors I can support you. Through my practice I help clients develop self-awareness and behavioral strategies that can be practiced and infused into daily life. Let's work together on taking your next step.

Are you feeling isolated or having trouble adjusting after a significant life change or having difficulty connecting with loved ones? Is a traumatic event plaguing you?

Clients can begin to look at things from a new perspective and create lasting change when we work together. Let's get "unstuck" by working together!

People end up in my office because what were once adaptive styles of coping no longer work for them.
