We live in a fast-paced, disconnected culture full of challenges and high-stress situations. It’s no surprise that millions of American adults and teenagers struggle with anxiety, depression, after-effects of trauma and related, painful symptoms. It’s not uncommon to develop unhealthy coping strategies, such as self-harming behaviors and substance abuse, in an attempt to numb out pain or to feel something different. Life transitions, traumas and significant losses can also make us question ourselves and the purpose of our lives. At times, it can become difficult to maintain focus, function with ease and feel good about who and where we are in the world.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your teen, there is hope. You don’t have to navigate the heavy, fearful or uncertain feelings, thoughts and issues that come with depression, anxiety, trauma or self-harming behaviors on your own. I take a holistic approach to healing and use a myriad of tools to help you or your teen clear through issues effectively, experience relief and find a healthy, insightful path forward. I provide a nonjudgmental, warm and grounding space for you or your teen to identify, explore and address the thoughts, feelings and patterns that are no longer serving you. I firmly believe that every life experience – especially the most challenging – can serve as an opportunity for learning, growth and healing. I offer practical solutions and a gentle, holistic approach. I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms.

Healing, personal progress and a meaningful and happy path forward are possible. I invite you to call me for a free 15-minutes phone consultation. I’m happy to discuss your specific concerns or needs and to answer any questions you have about therapy and my practice.
