I believe that almost all teenagers want to be happy and content. Yet, you might be experiencing things such as depression, anxiety, issues with drugs and alcohol, poor social skills, low self-esteem, grief, difficulties with relationships and hardships at school. These things may result in lack of motivation or tools to reach your full potential. I understand that school, friendships, family relationships, and life in general, can be overwhelming! I know that, at times, you may feel misunderstood and not 'heard' by those around you. You may believe that you are not good enough, and this can leave you feeling unworthy of having a happy, fulfilling life. You may have experienced traumatic events in your life that have caused you to feel confused and stuck. These issues create difficulties in managing your life and can undermine your well being. I want to help! I will work together with you to address these issues and bring positive changes to your life. We will work to create self-awareness and use an approach that challenges any negative thoughts or beliefs that are creating negative consequences in your life. And, as one of my favorite sayings suggests-Don't be afraid of change because it is leading you to new beginnings! So, take the first step and meet with me. You deserve to feel happy and THRIVE!

Young adulthood is a time of many transitions, and can be overwhelming and confusing. It is a time when you are making major life decisions, and contemplating what you want for your life. This time in your life may seem noisy and complicated, and it may be difficult for you to navigate through things such as college,
career choices and relationships. Other issues such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse and low self-esteem may be present in your life. No matter how hard you try, it might feel like you just can't get it right, and you just can't hear your own voice through the noise. You may wind up feeling alone, disconnected and discouraged. The good news is that we can work on these issues together, facing your fears, quieting the noise and working through emotional distress. We can work on bettering your relationships and having deeper connections with people you care about. Using a Cognitive-Behavioral approach, we can look at thoughts and beliefs that might hinder your progression towards better relationships, health and happiness. We can discuss better ways to cope with and handle emotions, and ways to better manage your life. I want to understand you as a whole person, to help you be able to navigate this world as your real self. We will work together to support your return to mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. One of my favorite sayings is that difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. Let's travel down this road together, and work towards you becoming your true self, becoming whole and authentic and fulfilled. It is my hope that you are ready for this journey to begin!
