Therapist Overview
After eight plus years of experience in public education, I have come to know that our children are hurt, confused and feeling abandoned. Although your child may not meet the criteria for a “clinical” diagnosis, they still are experiencing the weight of depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, family issues and suicidal ideation. A lot of the time, kids just want to know that an adult will take the time to listen and more importantly, care. I find that parents have the same struggles and the same need to be heard and cared for. It is my desire to come alongside you and your child to provide the encouragement, support, and listening ear needed. My counseling style has been described as genuine, warm, and accepting with my focus on you. With this focus, I believe I can assist you and/or your child in overcoming the struggles of life and finding healing needed for your journey. I “get” that asking for help can be difficult. No one wants to admit that their family is “less than” what other families appear to be. Truth be told, all families struggle, especially in today’s world. Be brave and reach out to someone. If not me, then to someone you trust.
