Over the past four years as an AMFT, I have developed specialty interests in treating stress and anxiety issues in children. Whether someone is experiencing distress due to anxious thoughts and worries, emotional pain, or life changes, I can help. As a parent myself, I value children. During my school-based traineeship, my emphasis was on treating children and I received focused training in navigating social media addiction, bullying, divorce, and academic difficulties.

Depression can come in many forms during different times in our lives, which is normal. However, if you find you are wrestling with depression or it isn't going away, don't suffer in silence -- please seek support from a therapist. We all experience depression at various times in our lives, but if you or a loved one are experiencing depression, please reach out for help -- there is no need to suffer alone and untreated depression can become very dangerous.

Anxiety is completely normal -- we all experience anxiety because it is a part of being alive as a human. However, if your anxiety is causing you distress, you feel anxious much of the time or have intrusive thoughts or uncomfortable physical sensations, then it's time to seek support. I use cognitive behavioral tools and a a form of mindfulness-based therapy to help teach you how to tolerate and reduce anxiety. Anxiety is normal, but it shouldn't be running the show.
