We have immediate availability. We have a special interest in providing care for children/teens/young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, PTSD, and family concerns, and are often called the " teen whisperer".

Our main priority is to give you a place where you can process your concerns, and provide you with guidance to walk through those with skills.

I enjoy working with all my clients, however, I have specific training working with troubled youth. The world is hard to navigate as adults and can be even harder as a young adult, teen , or adolescent . In my experience depression and anxiety are secondary to the trauma caused by unresolved issues. These issues affect both children and adults. This can often express in opposition to rules, defiance, self harming, alcohol and drug use. I can help. I understand what its like to feel misunderstood in a world filled with overwhelming decisions.

Are you feeling overcome by relationships, health issues, or work? Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with the daily demands of life. Each of us has primary needs to feel safe, secure, protected, loved, and connected. These innate needs follow us throughout life and have a significant impact on our ability to experience life to the fullest. When our fundamental needs are not being met, we can experience significant negative emotions & stress. Our primary essential needs are satisfied physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually & behaviorally, but we have to be intentional and active in that process.

I have been in practice for 30 years as a clinical psychologist. I provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients.
