My Private Practice
I hope to make you feel comfortable and welcome as you make this decision to embrace change. It is my privilege to help people work through the various transitions of life. Transitions require new skills and new perspective.
Let's get started!
01.
Adults & Children
With adults, children and teens it is an interactive process where we work to achieve solutions which are practical, adaptable and sustainable. Most people start thinking about therapy because they have reached some sort of crossroad in life. It can feel a little daunting to start the process, especially if you haven't been in therapy before. As a social worker, I believe in starting where the client is and then working together to set goals to build the life that you want. It may mean working through issues from the past or it may mean having a more here and now focus.

Relationships are all about balance and over time that balance can be difficult to maintain. In working with couples, I start by helping couples identify strengths and challenges within the context of what each member has experienced in the relationship. It isn't about figuring out who is right or wrong, but developing what I like to call a "We" mentality. In a 'We" mentality a couple sees issues as problems to be solved together. In many cases, the focus is on figuring out how to communicate in ways that make each other feel cared for and supported.

Telehealth enables you the opportunity to access therapy in a way that works for you. The importance of the work we will do no longer has to be limited by geography or a busy schedules. I am happy to offer Telehealth appointments in addition to in-person availability. Telehealth appointments are offered on a HIPPAA compliant platform. I usually like to have one in-person appointment, if possible. From there, you can integrate Telehealth and In Person appointments as they work with your schedule.

Therapy can help you navigate all transitions in life. It is important to find safe spaces to explore every aspect of your life. Whether you are transitioning through a life phase, coming to terms with your identity, or determining your life path we will work together to find the best way forward for you. Enabling you to achieve the goals you determine.

Working with parents has a special place in my heart. I started my career working with abused kids and their parents. It made me realize how important it is to provide parents the support and education they need. Each phase of development has joys and challenges, and no parent can be good at all phases. Counseling provides a place to find support and strengthen parenting skills.
