Have you ever felt that anxious feeling in your stomach that robs your appetite, hijacks your breathing, and prevents you from stepping out into the world? Maybe you feel hopeless and stuck for any number of reasons or no expressible reason at all. I want you to know you are not alone, and there is hope! The journey of recovery may include resolving guilt, changing behavior, learning to have fun, communicating effectively, and a number of other desirable results. I orient my practice to provide space for my clients to share openly and confidentially about their concerns.

As a trained clinician and someone who has benefited from therapy myself, I know how terrifying it can be to consider going to a counselor. My goal with all of my clients is to put them at ease by caring for and accepting them just as they are, and to understand the issues they are facing. I want to know what your needs and goals are, and help you create a roadmap to accomplish your goals. I want to understand what you want, and why, so that I can tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs and expectations.

Parents often reach out when they feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure how to best support their child. Maybe your child is anxious, emotionally reactive, withdrawn, or struggling socially or at school. Maybe your teen feels misunderstood, shuts down, or is carrying more stress than they can explain. Many families come to therapy not because they’ve failed, but because they care deeply and want things to feel calmer, safer, and more connected. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and parents, helping families navigate anxiety, big emotions, family stress, and life transitions. I believe that behavior is communication.

When you are hurting you need someone to talk to who will help you figure out what to do. There are always changes we can make to be less miserable. I particularly enjoy working with couples having marital problems, with teenagers, and with people dealing with grief and loss.
