"Everyone faces struggles at some point in life, and it is courage which allows us to seek help during those times. Common issues such as depression, anxiety, relational conflict, behavioral and emotional problems, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions can all be very oppressive, yet we can often work toward more helpful ways to manage these challenges. Asking for help can be hard, and it is usually the hard things that are worth doing."

My passion is families, the building block upon which society is built. By healing families, we heal the world. I specialize in couples therapy, which improves not only the couple but the entire family as a result.

I specialize in treating trauma, a taxing burden that no one should have to carry through life, a burden that sadly so often goes untreated.

I enjoy assisting people of all ages adjusting to life transitions or dealing with such broad issues as: trauma, interpersonal distress, depression, anxiety, grief, parental conflict, divorce, confidence, self-esteem concerns, socioemotional and behavioral difficulties. Using empowerment and strengths, I'm passionate about assisting clients in finding their voice, determining their wants and needs, and developing confidence in making effective changes.
