My ideal clients are adolescents or young adults who know they are struggling, yet are yearning to get something more out of life. I specialize in adoption, addiction, family conflict, and adolescent/emerging adult identity development, and I am competent in addressing a wide variety of mental health challenges related to these issues. In therapy I strive to peel back the layers of the presenting problems or symptoms to identify the core patterns and wounds that are obscuring authenticity.
I strive to create a culture of safety in the therapeutic relationship in which individuals and families can practice new ways of being, explore their values, and discover more effective methods for meeting their needs. I seek to empower my clients to understand themselves and evaluate the effectiveness of their choices.
My style is one of "fierce love"- I lead with compassion while holding others accountable to the belief that they are capable of resiliency, integrity, and authenticity. If you are a young person or a parent who is yearning for “something more”, even if you’re not entirely sure what that is, please call me to discuss whether I could be a good fit.
