LMHC, 30 years of experience
I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and their families, providing a safe and supportive environment to uncover and address the root causes of their challenges. With over 30 years of experience as a Juvenile Probation Officer, High School Dean of Students, School Adjustment Counselor, and now as a Therapist, I bring a wealth of expertise to help you navigate these difficulties. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management, or are a parent seeking guidance to support your child, I’m here to help you develop effective coping strategies and regain control over your life.
My goal is to help my clients feel that they are in a safe place to discuss whatever it is they are struggling with and to work as partners in identifying the appropriate coping strategies, interventions and solutions they problems they are facing.
My greatest strengths are to listen to my clients, help them to take ownership of their behavior and to empower them to communicate their needs or implement strategies to manage their problems.
My approach is collaborative. I work alongside you to identify and address the underlying issues causing stress, anger, depression, or any other challenges. Together, we’ll set goals to move you away from pain and toward a life that feels supported and within your control. Growing up today is challenging not only for teenagers but also for their families.
How we perceive a problem is crucial in how we address it. I have used this method with clients of all ages to help them identify the root of their problems and to help them manage those problems. Primarily used to address Anxiety and Depression.
Over the years in working with families my focus has been to help each family member learn how to communicate their feelings to each other and to be heard and understood.
