Great to meet you!

I believe everyone should feel seen and heard in a safe environment. I want to help give you the tools to learn and grow. I have over 10 years experience in clinical, substance use, and educational settings. I am passionate about working with youth and adolescents struggling with ADHD, anxiety, substance use, and emotional regulation issues. I am able to support parents struggling to connect to their children on how to best communicate, set boundaries, and support their children. I also work with adults struggling with anxiety, anger management, and help maintaining substance use recovery.

My approach to therapy

Focused on meeting my clients where they are at utilizing a strengths-based approach. I am trained in CBT, DBT, mindfulness and evidenced based anger management.

What you can expect from me

Everyone is unique and responds to struggles and circumstances differently. We will identify your goals and how to best reach those goals. I want to help find the approach that works best for you. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if this relationship is a good fit.
