Are you a parent of a child that has experienced trauma and don’t want that experience to dictate the course of their life?
I help adolescents, young adults, and adults that have experienced trauma and are experiencing feelings of shame, anger, detachment, anxiety, and depression, and having a difficult time in their relationships, work, and day to day life. I help them to overcome and cope with such feelings, and empower them to have the life they want through healing from their past traumas.
I specialize in working with individuals that have experienced stressful or dangerous events such as child abuse, domestic violence, the loss of a parent, parents that have struggled with substance abuse or mental illness, or just multiple bad days strung together.
It can be hard to know where to start and almost impossible to start alone. I would love to help guide you through this process. I am only offering virtual therapy at this time. Please send me an email and I follow-up with a phone call to discuss how I may be able to help.

Interpreting teens behaviors can be extremely challenging for a parent!
Teens are known to be moody and to not talk to their parents. It can be hard to tell when a teen’s behaviors are just normal teen angst or when they are a sign that your teen may need help. A Mental Health Crisis has been brewing for years and the pandemic seems to have ignited the flames. Some signs that your teen might need therapy are if their grades are dropping, if they are isolating more than usual in their room, if they are acting out in school, if they seem to be losing interest in things they used to enjoy or if they are constantly irritable or moody.
Parenting a teen can be difficult and knowing what is “normal” is hard. This is the time they need support and advice more than ever, but is also the time in their lives where they may be the least likely to talk to a parent. No fault or blame on the parents, teens want to be autonomous and they are trying to develop their own sense of identity, trying to solve problems on their own, or have shame around their problem.
Having a therapist for your teen to talk to has never been so important.
As a parent of a teen myself, I am aware that I can’t solve my teens problems. It drives me nuts as I remind them that I do this for a living and people pay for my advice, yet they are stubborn and want to figure it out on their own or will believe the advice of others readily even if it’s the same advice I already told them and they refused to listen to.
I remember what it was like. There were many things I would have never gone to my parents about and wish I had. In my home, I try to make sure that my kids have lots of other adults to talk to as I can’t rely on them always turning to me, and in the end, I want a safe person for them to talk to.
