Whether the issues are emotional, relational or social, you'll find a safe place to do the necessary work to grow.

Seeking therapy and being open is a courageous step that requires vulnerability and commitment. I have supported many adolescents in expressinging their struggles and how they can use their resources to achieve goals. With the client's help, I gain a better understanding of their needs and provide tools and recommendations that may not be intuitive, but profoundly helpful. My goal is to work through barriers that create pain and suffering and to find new ways of coping that increase happiness, improve relationships with self and others and overall functioning of life.

We live in a world where being yourself is under threat and personal identity and personal attacks are on the rise. Creating a safe space for clients to voice their concerns without judgement can be extremely beneficial for individuals. Finding out underlining themes, creating workable and realistic goals and helping people be at peace with who they are and where they are in life is paramount in self identity.

On the surface things look normal, but underneath life feels like chaos. You feel judged by everyone around you, and the person who judges you most harshly is yourself. Your relationships with other people feel like they are in a constant state of conflict. You act on your emotions without thinking, or you stuff them deep inside where they can’t hurt you. You feel like something is wrong and that things need to change, but the chaos seems so normal you have no idea where to begin.

My therapeutic modality includes utilizing a Solution-Focused approach to guide the client through freely expressing their mental health in a safe place to identify the patterns in their life that are helping or hindering the type of lifestyle they want to exhibit day to day, and how we can work together to best improve mental and physical wellness. The nature of my sessions tend to be calm and easygoing for clients to feel comfortable forging a trusting rapport with me.

When forming this practice, I was reminded of being a child playing outside. Can you recall playing tag at recess? It seemed inevitable that at some point, someone would get so close to being tagged and yell, "I'm on T." What a fleeting gift of childhood - to just call 'time' when the pressure got too high. I have spent 8 years working with children, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, social skills/relationship difficulties, ADHD, OCD, and more. If you feel that there is something blocking you from experiencing a life you can enjoy, therapy might be right for you.

I believe that as humans we have the ability to be a whole and complete individual. And there are times when this inner strength is overpowered by sudden or ongoing anxiety, unhappiness, and at times even anger. Have you found yourself being stuck in these emotions? Or feeling that no one understands the intensity of the life challenges you're experiencing? I provide a safe environment where we can explore your values and needs together and move towards being the version of self that you aspire to be.
