I have a passion for working with children (ages 6+), adolescents and adults navigating challenges such as addiction, anxiety, stress and relationship or family conflict. I enjoy working directly with parents to set goals and better understand their teen's challenges as well as with couples who want the most from their marriage. I am specializing and continuing my training in bipolar/mood disorders, addictions, couple's therapy, and human sexuality. I became a therapist because I knew from a young age that I wanted to help other people. My own history, family, and journey influence me as a therapist. This makes me real. One does not get to the therapy chair without experiences and struggles in life. I have found that hope and grace have anchored me and this is what I seek for my clients. Because my life has been impacted by the very challenges and issues I strive to help others conquer, it is my intent to make sure you feel safe and deeply understood. I have overcome and you can too.
