I am passionate about working with children and teens that have been involved in foster care or adoption. This population may have difficulties with attachment, identity, and adjustment as well as other mental health concerns. I specialize in working with children that struggle to form secure attachments which often result in overly emotional episodes or withdrawn and isolated behavior. My goal in therapy is to use my training in child centered play therapy and trust-based relational intervention to help bring understanding to the child-parent relationship and help build stronger connections that will ripple to other areas of life.

If you are searching for help today, I want to give you some encouragement and remind you that there is hope. You are loved and you are meant to live for so much more than to feel the way you do right now. I focus on helping people with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and spiritual issues by utilizing an eclectic philosophy with focus on person centered, cognitive behavioral, systems theory, existential and integrative approaches to counseling. I am glad you are here because that means you have not given up on your hopes.

Psychotherapy and assessment can help you discover more about yourself, navigate current conflicts, and come to better understand old patterns of thinking, feeling, and interacting with others. Therapy can help you develop new perspectives and skills that better fit the person you are now and the direction you want to take. I will be there to help you learn to use these tools to manage difficult times and make meaningful transitions.

I believe that all of us have the power to help ourselves on our path to healing, but we sometimes forget that we have that power. Our angers, fears, sorrows, and doubts often materialize as seemingly unbreakable chains. It is in these times that we forget that we are both the captive and the keyholder. So much of our life exists in how we see ourselves and how we see ourselves in relationships with others

Life can feel extremely heavy when you're bogged down with so much. If we were to write down what's on your plate, you may write your family, your work, maybe your children or your significant other, maintaining friendships, keeping a life outside of work and home, and maybe a bit of self care if you're lucky. You may feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, unable to sleep, lacking motivation, isolated, etc. If you're living this life, let me tell you- You're not alone. It's hard. I see you. And I want this to be your sign to take a step back, and care for you. Let's explore what it would be like to choose YOU!
