Starting therapy can be an overwhelming process.

Hi! I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist so I work with teens and adults on how our interpersonal relationships affect us and our mental health. I welcome those who want therapy in the comfort of their own home and specialize in supporting individuals who are experiencing struggles with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues/family conflict.

The teenage years are the most vulnerable, exciting, and growing years of a young person’s life. Self discovery can often yield low self esteem, independence can easily shift to rebellion, and a slow maturation process often creates impulsive decision making. And when a parent’s warnings and worries don’t seem to have an impact on the teenager’s course, or when it feels too heavy to carry alone, it’s helpful to have another guiding force to help. Through counseling, an adolescent can feel understood, begin to understand themselves, and learn to understand and accept their role in the family and society.

Some of my clinical experience includes: trauma work and healing (with EMDR as an option), addiction recovery support, depression and/or anxiety combining mind and body work in treatment, working with teens and children on emotional regulation while building skills that will develop intrinsic self worth, and examining thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in interpersonal relations.

I help people to gain the insight and awareness needed to be the best version of themselves.

I enjoy working with people who have been in therapy before and also people who have not. I will meet you where you are and help you to clarify and work toward your goals.

Never before has the adage, “I was a teenager once too!” been more out of step with the experience of adolescents today. I’ve been helping teens for 35 yrs and have a good read on the challenges they face and the strategies that are effective in relieving the anxiety, disillusionment, depression, anger, and disconnection that plague so many families. I help teens who are anxious, argumentative, defiant, withdrawn, moody, self-destructive, inattentive, depressed, or doing poorly in school and will help you decide whether the problems you're noticing are part of "typical" teen behavior or a sign of something more serious.
