Teen Success is the motto for my practice. I specialize in adolescent/family counseling and parent coaching. I am a clinician with over 14 years of experience in treating struggling adolescents and their families. My goal is to help teens and families get through this often difficult period of life. I also enjoy helping young adults transition towards independence.

Over the past 30 years I have studied and trained in many different "schools" of therapy, counseling, and hypnotherapy and they all have something to offer; but I have found that each client is unique and that there are no magic bullets(panaceas). Clients are unique...problems are unique...solutions are unique. I am interested in tapping into your own creativity, your own strengths, and your own abilities to find solutions that works for you.

My counseling is based on listening to you, using a combination of the tools that you have developed and the tools that I have learned, from my studies and throughout life. We work together toward the goals of gaining understanding, clarity, direction, and growth, allowing for more enjoyment in your life. I am committed to help you meet those goals.

Making changes to ones life can be both uncomfortable and exciting. I am here to help you get through the toughest parts so that you may live a life that you feel good about. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space to help you heal past wounds, overcome difficulties, and cope more effectively with painful emotions. If you desire and are open to growing and changing, I can assist with teaching you new ways to cope, think, feel, and be in the world.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment where my clients can explore their emotional needs and overcome the obstacles which are keeping them from experiencing their fullest potential. I utilize a compassionate and collaborative approach in therapy to support my clients in addressing their life, relationships and the challenges they face. Whether you are seeking healing from the past, help for the present or hope for the future I can help!

Do you hate the idea of therapy? Do you wish you had someone you could talk to about your problems, but cringe at the idea of being asked “how does that make you feeeeeel?” Maybe you've tried therapy before but feel as though you have little to show for it.

If you're reading this, you or someone you know is struggling, and the last thing you need is for someone to make this process any more uncomfortable than it already is.

Your son is definitely going through something. You're worried about the child, teen, or young adult in your life. He seems down, depressed, discouraged, but then just tunes out the world with his video games. He's anxious, dealing with pressure, school, friends, & actually facing his struggles. He won't open up to you or other family members. He seems to be isolating more - you think he might have some addiction going on. He's not as interested in his usual activities. You're basically concerned about the direction of his life. What you really want is your kid to be happy, motivated, and moving in a good direction.

If you are struggling with low self-esteem, confusion, anxiety, or depression, I will be a compassionate guide. If you have self-defeating beliefs and patterns, together we can create a new mindset.
