Life is your book and sometimes it can be scary, overwhelming or just plain uncertain when getting ready to turn the next page. What comes next? Will you be ready for it?

Working with children and adolescents brings up various treatment needs and goals in therapy. Through CBT, DBT, MBSR, PCIT, mentalization based therapeutic strategies and educational resources, role-playing, arts and play therapy as well as self-help worksheets, young clients will be able to develop appropriate expressive skills to share their wants and needs. Parents can collaborate in treatment by proactively learning parenting skills to best engage with their children and adolescents by becoming more responsive in establishing and maintaining secure attachment through consistently building on healthy, nurturing relationships.

I truly enjoy supporting clients in understanding themselves and their experiences through a compassionate lens. I am honored to support identity exploration (e.g., LGBTQ+, communities of color) in ways that move clients to the life that they want. I firmly believe that it is my job as a therapist to hold client's hope for them when they cannot hope for themselves. We can sit in the discomfort together and savor the moments that feel aligned. My goal is to provide clients with skills and tools to cope with the tough moments, knowing we cannot get rid of them, to live a full life.

My ideal client is a family or couple in the midst of a situational crisis. They may need help navigating changes such as: a member with special needs, adolescent years, an affair, remarriage/stepfamily issues, illness and death. I strongly believe many people have the capacity to manage life's challenges, however they may need to learn more skillful communication of their needs and desires. It has been my privilege to help restore innate strengths as well as to nurture untapped abilities to overcome stresses and symptoms of depression, anxiety and confusion associated with these life changes.

In working with therapy clients, I utilize strategies that are appropriate and effective for each individual client, family or couple; often taking an eclectic approach. I am always seeking to understand who you are as a person, not only what you are struggling with. Together we will identify specific, meaningful treatment goals and an effective plan.
