Are you concerned about your child or adolescent? Are they struggling with peer relationships, divorce, school difficulties, worry, sadness, or behavioral issues? Are you struggling with how to respond to and manage your child's behaviors and emotions? My gentle yet direct approach helps children identify feelings and challenges, to problem solve and find new, productive ways to cope. I collaborate with parents and families in a way that has a child feeling supported, understood and cared about.

My commitment is to help you make positive life changes. There are times when we are faced with obstacles and difficulties that interfere with growth and development, preventing us from achieving goals and aspirations, and diminishing our happiness and wellbeing. Psychotherapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental setting to discover solutions to challenges. With the powerful tools of communication and insight, I will help you identify counterproductive patterns and habits preventing you from living an optimal life. Together we will recognize and build upon your strengths and skills, develop new resources and strategies, and discover beneficial, healing ways of approaching your life.

I believe the most important benefits of therapy are relief from painful feelings, a deeper self understanding, and confidence to pursue positive change and growth. Whether you are looking to gain insight into life-long patterns or simply need help with a current specific issue, my goal is to help you gain a deeper sense of peace and satisfaction with your life.

As a Mental Health Practitioner with a Masters of Arts in Mental Health Counseling, I enjoy working with teenagers, adults and seniors. We work together to progress through trauma, grief, depression, OCD, and anxiety.

I approach my sessions with a gentle, compassionate and caring method of communication with the attempt to make therapy approachable and secure enough to work through treatment goals.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Maybe you want to change but don't know where to begin. Perhaps you are unhappy with your relationships. Maybe you feel your past interferes in your life but have felt too scared to "go there." Maybe depression and anxiety are a part of your daily life. I know where to start. My first step is to create a safe place where you can learn to do things differently, where you can flourish instead of just surviving.

We don't always choose what happens to us but we do have a choice in how we respond to what happens. Therapy can assist in helping create healthy constructive responses that nurture growth and healing. I hope to create a safe, non-judgmental space in order for this to happen. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, parent/child conflict, codependency, life transitions, grief/loss, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders. I am also an EMDRIA approved EMDR trained clinician.
