Our services

Talk Therapy

We are all living this human experience - sometimes life is smooth sailing and other times hardships get in the way. I offer individualized services using an integrative perspective. Just as each person is unique, I offer services to fit the particular needs and goals of the client. I offer support for burnout, emotional exhaustion, and people-pleasing patterns. Additionally, help create boundaries and build self-esteem.

Teen Therapy

Pre-teen through young adulthood is a unique time period of major growth, learning who you are and want to be, and becoming an individual away from childhood. I approach this age group with respect, genuine connection, and attunement to the client. The goal is to help guide to their own conclusions, building their morals and opinions along the way. I support adolescents through anxiety, depression, identity, friendships and school pressures.

Play Therapy

Children often learn by exploration and play. The same thoughts are approached to help children process through movement and play. I grow trust in the relationship by joining children on the floor, playing with them while observing. I collaborate with parents to help build emotinal regulation, communication and connection.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can help with trauma, phobias, anxieties, and more. An individualized approach is taken as the needs and goals are assessed to see how EMDR could best help the particular needs of the client.

Real Impact.

Real help for when you may say:

“Parenting a strong willed child” “My teenager won’t talk to me” “I’m overwhelmed as a mom” “Parent coaching for difficult behavior” “How to stop people pleasing” “Child therapist who understands ADHD” “My teen is isolating and I don’t know when to worry” “I want therapy but with someone warm” “How to set boundaries without guilt” “How to stop overreacting emotionally” “How to say no without feeling bad” “Why do I feel responsible for everyone” “People pleasing and boundaries”

I am here to say:

You don’t have to handle this alone. I can help with tools for emotional regulation, communication, and resilience. I want to help parents and their children feel more connected and find steadiness again. I help with suicidal teens, and parents feeling overwhelmed and reactive. I can help with parent coaching and connect with your child.

Additionally, boundaries are for YOU. It isn’t about controlling another person but finding the peace from within to control our reactions and thoughts about the other person. I can help build your boundaries and begin enforcing them in your life so you don’t feel like a people-pleaser who gets walked on.
