I have always been interested in helping others and found myself investing time to support those in need since I was a teenager. When I went to college I started working with children while studying psychology; from that point on I knew I wanted to develop the tools to better support the families in my community.

I find the clients who are most success working with me to be those who feel like they can show up as themselves, in whatever stage of change or reality/ circumstances they may be facing. I feel comfortable working with children of all ages, although I have found much success in developing deeper connections with teens and young adults.

The healing process is non-linear and more often than not requires some practice in order to maintain our desired goals; however, the process does get easier over time and with practice. There are a multitude of strategies and resources available to support your work in therapy and these can help lead to lasting changes.

For the first few sessions it's important we get to know each other while learning about your goals and desired outcomes for our work together. It's important you feel comfortable and that we reach a point of trust with one another. Together we will develop a road map to outline our work together, with behavior specific actions you can take and a clear end in sight.

I believe the most effective therapy practice is client centered and meets the individual, or family, where they are at presently. I recognize we are often in different stages of change when we first come to a session and I believe it is my responsibility to honor that, while encouraging change and progress at a pace that feels right for you.
