As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to enhance each individuals sense of self-worth and be a support in developing healthy methods to effectively cope with challenging situations and/or triggers. My approach to treatment is always client-centered. I value the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance, and see the therapeutic relationship as a key component to outcome.

I have experience and enjoy working with all age groups, including advanced training in working with adolescents and young adults.

You think you're handling things, but then somewhere along the way, you've lost your grip. You can't sleep, you can't calm yourself down, and it seems like everyday stress deeply impacts you. You've tried but you can't reason with your thoughts. You know they're dark, or dramatic, or too anxious, but you can't seem to stop the cycle. Maybe it's impacting you internally only. Maybe it's affecting your work. Maybe you're losing friendships or relationships because of the emotions that take over so easily. It's exhausting. Whatever the case, you know it's time for help. Surely somebody knows the way out of this mess.

I'm glad you're here. Navigating life, and especially relationships, can be challenging. In our rapidly changing world, filled with uncertainties and unknowns, it's easy to feel disconnected, hopeless, and stuck. It's natural to slip into a survival mindset, simply trying to make it through each day.

I'm here to provide a safe space where you are seen, heard, and cared for.

Rarely is the step towards seeking help from a therapist easy, or without contemplation. Here is a description of what I've found works best. During our first meeting, I engage you in a process to help you find the best fit possible for your particular needs.

This short process will give needed direction to your personal journey.

Life can be especially difficult for our young people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients 3-26 years of age to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future. I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy. It is not just the child, it is its environment which could include, living environment, school, friend groups and more.

It is of the utmost importance to me that you feel comfortable and safe in our work together. We can talk on the phone and setup the initial session. If we are a good fit then we will continue to see each other. Life is difficult and we all go through ups and downs, suffering from depression and anxiety does not make this any easier. I will do my best to give you the tools you need to help you get through the tough times.
