Have you been looking for a quiet place to sit and talk with someone who will listen without judgement or criticism? That is exactly what you will find in my office. I want you to be able to come in, get comfortable and freely express your thoughts, feelings and emotions. I encourage you to say what you need to say, if you can't find the words I will help. The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. As your therapist, I will support you on your journey.

I believe we all have the ability to change. Whether your an individual, couple, or family you deserve to live your best life.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space for vulnerability, growth, and empowerment. My role is to assist clients in harnessing their strengths and developing insight and skills to overcome obstacles in life and move toward their own valued goals.

I will draw from evidence-based practices to tailor my approach to your unique needs.

Accepting new clients! Stop putting yourself last, break free of self-sabotaging habits, and start uncovering your authentic self to move toward the future you're dreaming of. Many of the patterns we experience in our lives are the result of things we have learned in our past environments. This can show up in our lives as anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of disconnection, sadness, and more. Maybe you find yourself agreeing with those around you just to keep the peace, unsure of your own needs, acting like a chameleon to fit in with those around you, or anxious just trying to handle the stressors of your daily life.

Home Remedy works well for families that: Are considering out-of-home treatment options, but aren’t sure if their child truly needs that level of care. Are transitioning bringing their child home from out-of-home treatment (wilderness therapy, residential treatment center, therapeutic boarding school, or the hospital) and would like support in that transition. Feel like like they are being held hostage or walking on eggshells in their own home. Feel like they've lost authority and the ability to parent within the family. Are worried about their child's safety at home and at school. Are struggling to parent a child with mood or anxiety symptoms that cannot be managed with traditional outpatient care. Are dealing with school avoidance or having difficulty getting out of the house. Have a treatment team that has recommended a high level of care or doesn’t know what to do next. Want more caregiver/family involvement in the treatment process. Need support managing their child’s behaviors at school and advocacy to help their school understand their child’s symptoms.
