Do you outwardly appear to hold it all together? Yet on the inside, are there numerous life circumstances that challenge your ability to cope, manage everyday stressors, and feel in control? As a school counselor and learning specialist with 27 years experience working with adolescents and young adults, I bring a unique perspective of empathy, compassion, optimism, and humor to my counseling practice. I hold a safe space in which adolescents and young adults can address and navigate stress, anxiety, attentional and executive function challenges, social, familial and societal expectations and the myriad transitions life presents us. I employ a whole person, humanistic, solution-focused and collaborative approach where I incorporate strength-based strategies, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and an extensive background in learning differences and executive function to encourage and amplify your strengths and resilience in order to emerge from distress. I am an empathic, genuine and compassionate clinician who believes humans are amazingly resilient and I strive to foster an environment where you will be seen, valued, and heard on your road to self-discovery. I am a trauma-informed, LGBTQA+ affirming clinician. Discovering and celebrating who you really are may be the most valuable journey you undertake.
