I have over four years of experience working with children and adolescents who experience ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss.
I believe that each person is unique, which means that each person’s journey in counseling should be made to fit their individual needs and personality. Life can feel overwhelming at times and seeking therapy is a great first step in discovering how to overcome obstacles and barriers that prevent us from being the best versions of ourselves.

Congratulations!, on taking the first step to healing and growth. The relationships that we have with our families, friends and peers etc., vastly impact the ways that we view the world and how we cope with our difficulties. As we experience difficult times in our lives, it is easy to feel alone and feel like others cannot understand. I seek to be a source of support during those times. Working to build healthy relationships is a joint effort. If you are willing to BELIEVE, you will begin to ACHIEVE and ultimately RECEIVE all that is meant for you. You have what it takes and I will support you all the way. HOPE is on the Way!
