Sometimes it is easy to get a bit off kilter and be in need of added support due to depression, anxiety or related problems. Having a baby isn't what you thought it would be? Trying to juggle work and a family? Your child or teenager is having difficulty in school and you've tried everything? My philosophy is to gain understanding of the client's perspective and then develop a plan for progressing toward the client's goals using mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, understanding of the client's relationships and family therapy.

There are many reasons people seek support, and none of us is immune to the stress of coping with life's challenges. I work with adults and children/teens who seek therapy for issues such as stress-management, coping with difficult emotions (depression/anxiety/anger), relationship issues, parenting strategies, and healing from trauma and loss. Together we assess the root causes of problems and collaborate to develop a treatment approach. I integrate evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and play therapy/expressive arts approaches (as appropriate).
