Therapy can be scary because it takes honesty & the courage to open up about hard things or what is happening with your child. It can also be incredibly helpful for you or your child. We all need help at times. This is not a weakness & does not mean anything is wrong with you, or your child. I work with individual clients (5 & up), providing empathy & a safe space without judgment. I also offer assessments for 4 year olds & may take them on, on a case by case basis. I believe in meeting the client where they are at. Some people need me to match their pace as they embrace change & others need me to push them to find motivation.

I am both inspired by and respectful of the time, courage and commitment it takes for you to engage in a therapeutic relationship, especially via telehealth. Utilizing a strength’s-based approach, I believe helping you to set realistic and achievable goals is pivotal to a successful outcome of self-sufficiency and self-care. Working from a place of compassion, flexibility and sensitivity, I also recognize and incorporate in treatment the importance of different life factors (e.g., family, cultural and environment) that heavily influence us socially and emotionally and our abilities to cope with challenges.

Our office is a warm, friendly, and professional place. Respect and personal diginity are two things I value, and try to make part of everything I do. In session, I usually have an eye on how to make positive and realistic change one day at a time. I often provide homework to challenge clients to be growing outside of our sessions. I understand how difficult it is to connect with a therapist. I offer free consults so you can meet me and see if it is good fit.
