With over two decades as a school counselor, I particularly enjoy working with children and adolescents and their parents. I work effectively with clients who are going through a divorce, the death of a significant person, chronic family illness, job changes, domestic violence, or abuse. Clients can expect focused attention, quiet acceptance and honest feedback in a private space where they can clear their thoughts and feelings, sort through fears and pain, and redirect their lives.

It It is my mission to team up with children, teens and adults to improve confidence, positivity and emotional regulation. As children, we are taught math, science and reading, but not how to feel or to express our feelings. This can come out as aggression or anxiety or with-drawl. It is my goal to help my clients target problem behaviors, process past events, and learn new skills while providing guidance and support each step of the way.

It can feel like no one understands you because of what you’ve been through. You might have difficulty trusting others and feel like you always have to watch your back. As you try to figure out who you are, you might struggle with self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. You may feel caught between cultures, unsure of which values to honor. You’re exhausted and burnt out. If you are struggling with any of these issues, you are not alone. Together, we can work towards finding balance and meeting your needs—to feel heard, to have choices in what happens around you, and to feel safe and secure.
