One sign you may be ready for therapy is if you’re feeling really tired of how things are. Tired of feeling depressed and hopeless, tired of feeling alone or afraid. Tired of poor sleep, tired of imagining losing your job or your family. Tired of all the conflict with your partner, of trying to control them, control an addiction, control your painful thoughts and feelings. Maybe you’re not sure: are you ready to change anything? Is it even possible to change it? How? I’d recommend saving those important questions for later. The first thing is: are you willing to ask for help?

I work best with adolescent and adult clients who appreciate a direct, to-the-point approach. I give lots of feedback and make my thoughts known. This approach tends to open up awarenesses that may have been unknown for a very long time. It is exciting to see this process unfold in individual psychotherapy.

I have a passion for working with children and families in supporting healthy development, resilience, and achieving optimal mental well-being. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment where client's can explore their emotions and develop coping strategies to build a strong foundation for a brighter future.
