During my teenage and young adult years, I had many challenges and major life events that had a profound effect on me. So, it is no accident that my life's work focuses on working with the teen and young adult population, wanting to help them to navigate through what can be confusing and difficult years. I earned my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute in 2001.  I specialize in, and have 15 years experience, helping this age group through many of life's obstacles, some of which include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, navigating through high school and college, grief, drug and alcohol issues and negative self esteem. Either individually or in a group, my aim is to work with clients in a non-judgmental, confidential way to build a better quality of life, where they can grow and thrive!
