You want to feel like partners with your spouse instead of roommates and hold your children close, instead of being too tired.
Many times you think to yourself, "I'm just not happy." The stresses of daily life are overwhelming. You don't recognize the person sleeping next to you, work seems hard at every turn, parenting is difficult and you are tired of being angry. Maybe this feeling has grown over time or has just started to surface. Either way, there's a distance between the person you are and the person you want to be. There is a distance between the relationships you have and want. You just want more. To feel happy again.

I know it is difficult as a parent to find the right fit therapist for your child.
Clients say that I am compassionate, understanding, and easy to talk to. Though I enjoy working with adults, I am particularly passionate about working with children and adolescents. But, I have seen the best treatment for children involves the incorporation of the parents in sessions. I strive to help your child but also to create a healthy relationship between child and parent. I aim to encourage and empower each and every one of my clients to achieve their goals. I advocate for therapy being a collaborative effort between the therapist and client, regardless of the client’s age.

I enjoy working with children who are exhibiting disruptive, defiant, aggressive, and impulsive behavior. I have a passion for including caregivers of these children in treatment so that they feel empowered, confident, and prepared to handle any behaviors their child may throw at them. I also enjoy working with foster families and adoptive families who feel their bond with their child is lacking and want to improve the relationship, while also minimizing disruptive behaviors.
