Navigating emotions can be tricky whether they are your emotions, your child's, or even a loved one.
As someone who has gone through their own perils with anxiety, feeling different and processing difficult events, I want to help you! My experiences in the education and health care system has provided me with the opportunity to work with a diverse population, including children, parents, and individuals who are having trouble in their day to day life.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and families through life’s challenges.
Seeing your child struggle with their mental health can be tough. Feeling unable to help adds to the fear. My approach focuses on the whole family, valuing everyone's input. My clients have taught me that difficulties in family dynamics can be stressful and painful to talk about. It's important to know that these feelings are common and understandable.

I have expertise and a special interest in working with children and youth with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues, as well as, with parents who are struggling with common parenting issues including managing their child's negative behaviors and improving the relationship with their child.
I believe it's important to find a psychologist who is supportive, makes you feel comfortable, and someone who you can even laugh with- I am consistently described this way by clients. I also think it is important we collaborate to develop goals that are meaningful and achievable for you.

With expertise in ADHD, emotional regulation and behavioral challenges, I support children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate their emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.
How do you climb a mountain? One step at a time. It’s the same process I use for rock climbing as I do with therapy, blending physical, mental, and emotional resilience. Climbing teaches patience, the power of small, intentional moves, and problem-solving—when one path doesn’t work, we regroup and try again. My holistic, integrative approach emphasizes understanding the unique ways a person processes and expresses their emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. Our emotions, thoughts and body language can dictate how we think, feel and act. Small changes to any one of these areas can lead to a positive ripple that we want to see in life.

I have been fortunate enough to support children and their families, and adults of all ages, with a wide variety of needs.
Each of us has our own unique life experiences and I believe that our ability to navigate our lives requires an appreciation of those experiences and the different difficulties we might face. The root cause of these difficulties could be related to many factors, such as our past or current experiences, and at times, we may need additional supports or just a person outside our social circle to help us in a friendly and safe space. Effective therapy is fostered through genuine connections with people, where the therapist is not only empathetic, but also sensitive and responsive to a person’s needs at a given moment during therapy.

There are many times when life becomes more than we are able to handle. Sometimes life breaks us and leaves us feeling lost and alone. Other moments we feel like we are stumbling along in the dark, searching for meaning and direction, or just wishing we felt less pain. Finding a way back can be easier if another person shares some of the journey. A genuine and safe therapeutic relationship can be the starting place for rediscovering inner resources, developing new coping skills, and rekindling hope.
