Are you experiencing overwhelming feelings of sadness, anger or anxiety? Do you struggle completing daily tasks because you are overpowered by constant fatigue, poor concentration or simply feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you? The effects of trauma on an individual can be both physical and emotional, often causing a person to feel unhappy in the present or pessimistic about the future. As a counselor, my approach involves working together with you to address the root of your distress and create meaningful and lasting change.

Therapy should not be complicated - it's really about sitting down and talking with another person without feeling judged, talked down to, or being told what to do. My goal is to provide safe, nurturing, and effective psychotherapy to adult, adolescents, children, and families. I use practical and individually tailored approaches. With children and teens my approach is relaxed and non-threatening. I often use play therapy techniques such as: games, art activities, and sand tray. With older teens, adults and families, I strive to create an atmosphere of teamwork that allows clients to educate me about their lives and they changes they want.
