Anxiety, depression, anger, relationship conflict, grief, adjustment, and poor performance are just a few of the difficulties we face in our lives. All of us need the support of others to help navigate the multitude of challenges we experience. Sometimes friends and family, coaches and teammates are too much a part of the situation to be objective or are ill-equipped to offer care, support and/or guidance in a way that is helpful. In these situations a highly trained and experienced professional can often be of great assistance.

I have a strong passion for working with children, preteens, teenagers, and their families. Difficult struggles including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger management problems can affect people of all ages. Regardless of whether these issues are due in part to trauma, family changes, abuse, or other factors, I help my clients to feel more self-assured and to succeed on their own. By delving deep into the individual and grasping their unique perspective of the world around them, we can help them on their journey forward.

Life can be challenging in terms of a person’s stage in life, societal pressures, unexpected life events, responsibilities, relationships, and the stories people tell themselves. Making the decision to seek help is a brave, monumental step in the process of healing. The therapeutic relationship is a significant agent of change, and I consider it foundational to the growth and healing of individuals. Each therapeutic relationship is unique, and forming the rapport acts as a roadmap to healing.
