Receiving a proper diagnosis through testing can help a person receive the support they need to live more fully. Treatment may focus on therapy, medication, or specialized programs to assist students with learning disabilities. Psychological assessments do not tell a person that something is wrong with them. Rather, they bring struggles to light and highlight strengths so that the person can get help and use their strengths to their advantage. Understanding your strengths allows you to hone in on them. This might mean finding outside-of-the-box ways to go about things so that they work best for you.

Getting started is the hardest part. This is true of most things requiring significant time and energy. The decision to seek psychotherapy may not sound difficult, but acting on it can be. Seeking help suggests that we can't do it alone. Whether or not we can, I believe we shouldn't have to. Life is hard. Relationships are complicated. The world throws us a curveball and we find ourselves overwhelmed, disappointed or depressed. We lose a loved one, a job or have trouble finding meaningful work. We make bad decisions, or when we make good decisions, things don't turn out as we expect.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with various emotional and mental health needs. My career began working with at-risk youth suffering from severe emotional disturbances. I later began working with children and families within their homes to secure a healthy balance of support and resources, while enhancing their sense of self. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples. I am open to networking with any provider (i.e., teachers, primary care physicians, psychiatrists,etc.) that are involved in one's care. I believe in helping individuals identify their strengths and incorporating these strengths into their daily lives.

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?Trust that your within you lies personal power. You may not have fully tapped into that yet and that is okay. Self compassion goes a long way and we are all met with challenges we don’t understand. It can be very confusing. I say “the deeper the cut, the deeper the ability to start healing.” The key to unlocking our potential is to be open to seeing life in a different lens. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helps you reprogram your brain and alter thought patterns. When you change your thoughts, you change your world.

I work well with clients that would like to how to understand their inner critic and respond to those beliefs about whether you are "worth it" a helpful manner.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not believe in safe spaces as a viable, long term solution to anyones’ challenges, unless you’re willing to sacrifice your autonomy and allow fear to dictate how you live. However, I firmly believe that therapy should be a safe place to explore the issues that are creating fear and discomfort. Life is chaotic and unpredictable, and while there is a time and place for utilizing safe spaces, they should only be used in the short term. I’m very invested in empowering my clients to foster bravery, resilience, and perseverance so they are well equipped to navigate the challenges life throws their way.
