Are you or one of your children feeling depressed or anxious? Is your family having difficulty communicating? I work with adolescents, adults and families around issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, and trauma. I will help you develop strong self-esteem, coping skills, and success in social, school, and family life. I strongly believe that we do not have to be held back by our pasts or struggles, but can grow and learn from them. I am here to work alongside you and your family to find ways to heal and thrive.

The therapy room is a place for children to get help through their pre-teen and teenage years as they navigate the rocky road of adolescence. Identities are being created, beliefs are forming, and what better place to find guidance than with a mental health professional who gets it?
