"There are many ways of getting strong, sometimes talking is the best way." Andre Agassi

Do you struggle with feelings of depression or anxiety? Are you a couple experiencing difficulty in your relationship or a parent challenged by your child/teens behavior? I provide therapeutic services to individuals, couples and families. I have over ten years experience working with family/couple conflict, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss and parenting challenges. I also bring experience working with child and adolescent behavior problems, attachment, mood disorders and couple communication.

Overthinking? You can't seem to quiet all the thoughts in your head. You keep replaying different scenarios. You analyze what you could have done differently. Some days you can barely get out of bed. The guilt is eating you up inside. You feel isolated and lonely and it's hard to face anyone. You feel unsatisfied in your relationships. There is so much you need to get done but you feel stuck and unmotivated. You lie awake at night overthinking. You wake up feeling hopeless, unsure how you can get through the day. I know how you feel and I can help you get immediate relief.

If you are facing challenges as a parent to a young child/teenager, struggling in your personal relationships, or having difficulty with worry, stress, or sadness, I am here to help. As a therapist trained to work with children and families, I help clients who are struggling with child/adolescent behavior and emotional concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting, relationship problems, and adjustment issues. I can help you understand and manage your child's behavior, explore ways to feel more emotionally connected in your personal relationships, improve your communication with others, and overall, feel happier.

**Availability may be limited** Most people experience challenges in life and painful moments that can seem difficult to understand and get through. However, I believe with the right supports, we are capable and worthy of healing and resiliency. I knew from an early age I was passionate about helping people find ways to recover from adversity and develop a stronger sense of self, meaning, and happiness. I firmly believe feeling comfortable and understood is essential to the outcome of therapy.

I value the therapeutic relationship and prioritize creating a safe space for all clients to be their authentic selves. As a client, therapy is self-care and your time to show up for you. As your therapist, I will show up with you and offer unconditional support to help you reach your goals. I believe change happens when we are uncomfortable and so, as your therapist, I will gently challenge you as a way to uncover the happiest and healthiest version of yourself.

I believe the one of the most important parts of a successful and positive experience in therapy is the therapuetic relationship. Starting off my first priority is to make you feel comfortable being yourself, in a judgement free space.

Accepting New Clients. The decision to engage in therapy isn’t always easy. It takes strength and courage and is an effort to make a commitment to yourself towards healing.

I provide a safe and caring environment for Clients to collaborate on restoring balance and rediscover strengths.
