As a helper, my work with clients is guided by the core belief of connection. 1) Connecting the past to the present to gain insight into our struggles, 2) Connecting meaning to our experiences and 3) Connecting with a safe and trusted person to provide support and guidance in our path to healing. My ideal client would be those that are of like mind and interested in connecting in a therapeutic relationship that is driven by the client's individual needs and life experiences.
I specialize in working with those who seek understanding and change in order to achieve their highest level of functioning. This includes working with people who are struggling with many things including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, attachment, parenting/coparenting life transitions and relationship issues.
I would be honored to join you in your journey to wellness. Please reach out and book with me today. I would be glad to do an initial phone consultation to decide if I might be a good fit for your needs.

I enjoy working with older adolescents, adults and couples to address a variety of needs including but not limited to; trauma, anger, divorce, depression, anxiety, PTSD and other challenges. My belief is that our life experiences heavily influence our current level of functioning and often looking at those things can be a way to identify and manage thoughts, behaviors and difficult emotions.
