I have worked with children and families for many years, in multiple supportive capacities, and most recently in this therapeutic setting.
"Are you feeling overwhelmed with life, because of stressors at work, at home, or with your children, or your significant other, or even your past, then that is normal." I am here to listen and help you work through those stressors and those difficult times, especially when you can't turn to friends or your family.

I work with adults and children in individual, couples and group therapy.
It is my belief that seeking help is a courageous step that should be commended. Therapy offers us an opportunity to get to know ourselves, and provides a safe and comfortable space to think about the ways we can make our lives better. In this space, we come to understand the deeper meanings of the problems we face, gain the emotional tools to solve these problems, and become more confident in the decisions we make. Therapy can help to slow life down, and helps us find a place in it that fits who we are.
