Are you a parent concerned about your teens shift in behavior or mood? You may be confused whether it is "regular teen" stuff or something more. You miss your happy, carefree child and wonder if they will ever enjoy life again. Imagine what it would be like for them to have their confidence back and skills to manage difficult situations and emotions in the future. Your teen would feel better about themselves and parents could breath easier knowing their children have the skills to cope and know when and how to ask for help. Life transitions are hard, whether it's going to or graduating from college. It's okay to ask for help.

Life is complicated. Often the difficulties and stress we face create conflict and struggles that need to be shared with others. Through counseling, I believe that clients can find relief from the stress and pain of broken relationships, addiction, past traumas and unidentified emotional and spiritual wounds. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety or depression. I also work with people experiencing grief or who have been in abusive relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.

I am committed to helping clients manage and heal from their circumstances. My life work is to offer a fresh viewpoint, and to challenge you to grow by acknowledging in the process of life; not to settle, but define what you desire, prepare to receive the fruit of your labor, and encourage you never to stop moving forward. Emotional wellness is foundational in achieving what you desire. Being able to make necessary sacrifices in order to gain gratification, whether delayed or instantaneous, has the potential to shift your perspective and give you an all-around tune-up.

My focus is to assist children, adolescents, families, and adults to build positive self image through enhancing self esteem, improving social skills, and reducing family and peer conflicts. I work closely with parents to strengthen their limit setting, clear expectations, and conflict resolution abilities through improved communication skills. Setting limits and boundaries in all relationships and dynamics is a tool that I often use in my therapeutic process. Giving children, parents, couples and individuals tools to maneuver through the daily issues are tools and techniques that I focus on in our sessions.
