While going through a loss... Have you ever been told to “get over it, hold your head up, or be strong”? Many of us were taught to be strong – and that feelings (aside from the "good" ones) mean that we are weak. When we think of bereavement, we usually think of the death of a loved one. However, there are over 40 different personal losses that can leave us feeling devastated, heartbroken, lost, hopeless, and ultimately cause the same emotional and physical symptoms of grief. If you are feeling overwhelmed by a loss in life and are seeking instructions on HOW to get through the emotional process, we can help.

I take a client-centered, integrative approach to helping adults, couples and children work through a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, life stressors, relationship issues and more.
Whether you are struggling with a lifelong mental health disorder or going through a particularly stressful phase of your life, prioritizing your mental health is the first step towards living the life you want to lead. I believe the therapeutic relationship is as central to the effectiveness of therapy as the "work" itself. After building a connection with you, I will provide you with a supportive space to process, as well as equip you with the tools and skills you need to make progress towards your goals.

I have extensive experience providing children, adolescents, family, and marriage therapy services.
In my 20 years of practice, one statement has guided the core of my therapeutic relationships: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" (Maya Angelou). As a direct, supportive, practical therapist, I seek to help you shift from "just surviving" to "actively thriving" in your life. Use of sound, evidenced-based theory coupled with unconditional positive regard helps you to achieve balance in your life, becoming empowered to be the writer in your life story. You have value no matter what obstacles you may have faced.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way

What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
