As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you solve your problems that impede your happiness and well being. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. You may be depressed, anxious, struggling with addiction or feeling stuck in old patterns that leave you feeling hopeless. Perhaps you are your own worse critic, habitually repeating negative, harsh, or judgmental messages to yourself. Or, you may be facing overwhelming challenges with your spouse or significant other. I have been helping people overcome these and many other life issues for over 15 years. My therapy style is warm and compassionate but also very active. I believe that therapy needs to produce insight as well as a change in behavior.

Teen girls and young women face a lot of challenges from many different directions. School, relationships, social media, political and environmental dilemmas, and other social and cultural pressures can feel very overwhelming to handle. Young women are also under pressure to plan for their futures while simultaneously working through the struggles that naturally come with young adulthood. It's a lot to juggle, and nobody should have to do it alone.

I help young women get down to the bottom of anxiety and stress, develop a greater understanding of how their strengths can help them increase grit and self-confidence, and learn new tools for managing the inevitable challenges of life. I will help you create an individualized plan for success using evidence based techniques that align with your strengths, needs, and goals.
