About
I help depressed, anxious, and hurting teens find their strength, gain new skills, and get relief from their overwhelming emotions. My goal is to help teens move from crisis to coping while learning to use safe and healthy coping skills in the process. My work in community mental health agencies, an adolescent inpatient psychiatric facility, and as a school-based therapist over 25 years has allowed me to enhance my clinical skills in the areas of trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, and social anxiety.
