Welcome to my practice!

Since the COVID pandemic there has been growing concern regarding the mental health of our youth. Data suggests our kids are now at higher risk (girls significantly higher) than ever for anxiety and depression. Research posits that the current  generation is experiencing more stress regarding competitive performance in both team sports and academics than ever before.

As a therapist and mother I feel a personal call to action for supporting my community's youth.

Therefore, I invite you to explore my groups and classes for empowerment, building self esteem and ways to help foster resiliency in young people to face today's challenges. Navigating social media, competition and "mean girl dynamics" is not easy for kids today.

 Stress typically is more concerning and taxing when we lack the resources to address the stressor. My groups will teach the skills and provide the resources needed for empowerment in a small group setting.

I welcome you with an open heart and an open mind as I  provide a safe, nurturing group experience to grow, learn, and have some fun off screens!!!
