Thank you for joining me here as you take this important first step. In a world that encourages conformity, learning to access and live as our authentic selves can seem frightening and even impossible. The transitional times of adolescence and young adulthood can be very difficult and “growing pains,” both typical and extreme, can create lasting marks and hardship. Factors such as depression and anxiety can make this uncertain time even more difficult.

Through building and honoring a strong, caring, and mutual relationship with my clients, I create a safe space to explore questions, challenges, and successes. With this exploration can come real change and true healing. I help clients learn to find comfort and joy living as their authentic selves, bring about their own healing, and build lives with connection and meaning, 

I work with adolescents age 12 and up as well as young adults. Although I have experience with many different clients and issues, I specialize in depression, anxiety, anger and oppositional behavior, and identity issues. I have extensive experience working with gifted and high ability adolescents and young adults and I both understand and appreciate the intensity that is part of their way of being. I also have significant experience working with the LGBTQ+ population as well as clients who are exploring their gender identity.

If you feel that we would be a good fit to work together, I invite you to contact me to set up an initial session. Again, thank you for taking this important step toward healing and happiness. I can be reached at:
