Life is a journey full of twists and turns, sometimes leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, stressed and completely overwhelmed. My therapeutic approach will foster a relationship through empathy, compassion and genuineness in a safe and caring environment. My goal is to outfit you with the tools you will need to tackle life’s challenges in a productive, healthy manner.
CHILDREN, TEENS, PARENTING EDUCATION and FAMILIES
I have worked with children and adolescents for 18 years and have experience in treating issues that commonly arise for these populations including; anxiety, depression, grief and loss, suicidal ideation, self harm, and relationship difficulties. I recognize the importance of the role of parents and family in the development of children’s lives, and I can add value with parent education and management of these sometimes complex dynamics. I also have a passion to help empower and equip women to navigate life’s challenges.
