Life brings its own set of challenges. Living through a global pandemic only adds on to that stress. Balancing home, work, and family life can be overwhelming at times. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression; or your child is experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or an increase in behavioral problems-I am here to help. My clinical experience, past and current, consists of working with people from different backgrounds, life stages, and experiences.

The people who like to work with me are facing challenges in their work or personal lives including, self-inflicted stress, relationship or peer conflict, and accepting a loss (or multiple losses). They appreciate a cognitive or thinking approach to their challenges and appreciate learning skills that they can use to reduce their distress. They may have sought treatment elsewhere for anxiety or depression, and it's not unusual that the challenges they face are either going home with them or making their way into their work.

I work with clients to understand their own thinking processes and belief systems, to develop new coping strategies and learn new skills to interact with family and others interpersonally, and to make lifestyle adjustments to bolster internal psychological and coping resources.

I work with children and adolescents using tools that are engaging and interactive and take their developmental needs and abilities into account.
