Are you navigating a major life transition? Whether you're starting college, making a career change, becoming a parent, or watching your teen grow into someone you barely recognize, these shifts are hard! Maybe you’re seeing your child struggle with big emotions and behavior in school, or your preteen is battling anxiety and feelings of not belonging. If this resonates, please take a deep breath...you are in the right place. We ALL struggle, and seeking support is a profound act of strength and resilience. Take that step! As a counselor with 20 years of experience, I would love to listen and guide you towards reaching your goals.
I apply a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. I recognize that by creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and to ultimately make lasting changes in their lives and relationships. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, OCD, narcissistic abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and relationship strain.
