Therapist Overview
I enjoy engaging with children, teens, and adults who are in need of assistance with identifying ways to move forward or through difficult feelings and unhealthy patterns of behaviors centering around anxiety and/or depression. Partnering with my clients, we determine the issues at hand and identify realistic and sustainable strategies leading to balance and emotional well-being. I have 15 years experience with school-aged students (elementary through high school) and their families working through difficult developmental milestones which may be complicated by social anxiety, depression, or autistic spectrum disorders. I specialize in working with individuals with high-functioning autism. I enjoy developing manageable strategies to help individuals master social skills while building self-esteem and making friendship connections. Areas of special interest also include working with parents on a variety of parenting issues due to life events or changes.
