Compassionate therapy designed for you and your family.

Therapy helps youth to build self-esteem, learn how to manage stress, and develop relationship skills which support their global function.

Each young person I help is unique. Some thrive with talk therapy, while others prefer activities like art or games. I strive to make therapy a positive experience for youth clients where they can cultivate their interests and strengths.

I work with adolescents (13+) around the following concerns:

• Academic and school performance

• Attention and focus

• Behavioral issues, including high-risk behaviors

• Conflict with parents and caregivers

• Gender and sexuality concerns, including those (15+) seeking gender-affirming medical care

• Managing technology

• Mood

• Peer pressure

• School elopement or non-attendance

• Social anxiety

• Substance use

• Trauma

I help adults cultivate insight and self-acceptance, while supporting them to take actions which lead to a fulfilling life.

I frequently work with adults around the following concerns:

• Academic stress

• Alternative relationship styles

• Anxiety

• Attachment and relationship issues

• Depression

• The effects of complex medical conditions

• Family conflict

• Gender and sexuality concerns

• Grief and loss

• Life changes, life direction

Couples and family therapy helps to resolve conflicts, improve understanding, and strengthen communication, while also addressing mental health concerns that affect everyone within the family system.

I have experience treating the following through family therapy:

• Caregiver-child or parent-child conflict

Family disputes and child welfare issues often benefit from an objective perspective, helping to identify effective solutions for all parties.
