About Us

" Being a teen or young adult right now is very different then being one even just a few years ago. My passion is working with young people to build skills whether social or academic that help bring calm, confidence, and peace into their lives. My goal is to empower young people to self-advocate and use their personal strengths to create a life that is full of joy and self-acceptance. My clients are unique in regard to their interests, abilities, personalities, and skill set. Life is not about competition or comparison (no matter what anyone says). We all make mistakes, lets learn from them together! View 9 Photos", " I have worked with teens and young adults for over 20 years. Now, I educate clients in their understanding of mental health. My training on thought patterns helps me explore and challenge my clients thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, in order to create new healthy and helpful patterns. I also have training in career counseling for individuals of all ages. ", Being a young person is challenging. How many lessons can one human learn?! A teen client once said that talking to me was like "talking to a friend." We all need support. If you are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, confusing anger, communication, and even school issues, please reach out to me now. I would love to be on your team.
