Life can be challenging. For our minds and bodies.  For our relationships and families.  And for our communities.  Meaningful connection may be difficult to come by.  Stresses and emotions can be challenging to navigate.

That’s why we created Flourish – a space that offers growth-fostering support.

We provide support in three ways: therapy offered by our caring, experienced clinical team, learning and connection opportunities, and wellness programs.

For your next steps in growth and connection, we’re here. Check out our mission and bios. Give us a call.
Because the journey to flourishing is best walked with others.

"The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." ~ Pema Chödrön

At Flourish, my work centers on supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most meaningful transitions. I specialize in:
 
  • Parent Coaching: This includes working with parents struggling with communication and behavioral, and mental health challenges; parents whose children are exploring their gender and sexual identities; and parents of gifted and neurodivergent children. 
     
  • Individual Therapy for Tweens and Teens of All Genders: I support children ages 12-18 who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
     
  • Guiding Parents in Transition: I support parents who are launching their children into independence, helping them rediscover their roles and purpose.
     
  • The Sandwich Generation: For those balancing the demands of raising children while caring for aging parents, I provide strategies for managing the unique stressors of this stage of life.
 
As a parent of two children, one of whom is a transgender high school student and the other in college, I deeply understand the complexities and disorientation parents often feel today. This personal experience fuels my commitment to helping parents grow and thrive in their roles.
 
Meaningful change starts within. By getting in touch with our inner landscapes, we can uncover and address limiting belief systems and thought patterns. Through this self-exploration, we can deepen our relationships with family, friends, and most importantly, with ourselves. I advocate for a culture of empathy and know that when clients feel seen, heard, and validated, they are empowered to take an active role in their growth.
 
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a blend of client-centered, humanistic, and research-based practices that support clients in a nonjudgmental, safe space to process overwhelming emotions. Drawing from the latest neuroscientific research on chronic stress, I help clients understand how stress impacts their emotional, social, and physical well-being.
In addition to a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, I hold a Master of Science in Gerontology and a Master of Health Administration, equipping me with a comprehensive foundation to support children and adults facing a variety of challenges.
 
Life’s demands are intense, but with the right support, balance and purpose are achievable. Together, we can develop strategies to manage stress, restore clarity, and help you flourish in every aspect of your life.
