I specialize in helping individuals build themselves up and helping families strengthen relationships. You may have experienced difficult events or relationships or you may be feeling especially down or anxious; your child might be struggling to regulate their emotions, maintain attention, practice safe behaviors, or follow directions. My goal is to help you find inner strength for yourself and your family so that you can make your desired steps toward change.
Through therapy that is tailored to you and your family, using evidenced-based interventions, you will gain the tools to meet your goals. We will collaboratively increase your insight and shift your thoughts to reduce anxiety and improve mood. For your child, we will build skills so that you and they feel equipped to manage any situation at any time.
The therapeutic relationship is key to success, and I create a warm, nurturing space in which you will feel heard, understood, and be better able to work toward change. Let's discuss how I can support you in your growth.
