Asking for help is difficult, but it is also one of the most courageous acts a person can take.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

Seeking out help can be scary or intimidating, but it can also be one of the most impactful decisions you get to make.

I hope to provide a calm and welcoming space for you to share, cry, laugh, etc as our sessions together are what you make of them. I work with adolescents to adults experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, identifying/accepting emotions, boundary setting, and/or self-confidence.

Therapy involves a partnership built upon trust, support, and a non-judgmental approach. I believe each individual has a unique story that deserves to be respected and honored. We all have strengths and abilities, powerful catalysts for resilience and desired change.

Life is a journey that is cultivated by various experiences that may put you in a place facing depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness that may seem to be unbearable. My approach to counseling is driven by a strength based perspective. I look forward to assisting you through emotional processing by tapping into your personal inner strength of resilience to carry you through this journey which is most often referred to as life itself.

We each have the wisdom within ourselves to guide us on our life journey. However, we often forget to listen when life around us is loud, confusing or perplexing. Additionally, childhood trauma or old baggage interferes with our listening ability. These distractions prevent us from hearing our own inner wisdom. I am a sojourner with my clients as I help them learn to listen to their own internal wisdom. Together, we work to discover inner healing, peace and life balance in their lives.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to understand their personal patterns, diving into their capacity and ability for change, and working to achieve the goals that they feel are specific and central to their life experience. Clients who enjoy welcoming curiosity to their experience and finding compassion for themselves at every part of their personal journey, makes this work most satisfying.
