I support children, teens, parents, and individual adults through life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and understanding. While my practice primarily focuses on helping young people thrive and empowering parents to navigate their children’s needs, I also offer a welcoming space for adults to slow down, reflect, and connect. Together, we create room to better understand what is getting in the way and develop practical tools that support growth, resilience, and a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your personal or shared values.
With 22 years specializing in youth mental health and schools, I have a deep understanding of the unique pressures families face today. I am passionate about helping families move away from conflict and toward connection. My multi-modal approach is grounded in ACT and CBT, ensuring you feel safe, seen, and supported through a trauma-informed lens.
I see therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to create real change. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and respected every step of the way. Each session is tailored to what you need most, creating a clear and honest path toward feeling better. Ready to take the next step? Call me for a free 20-minute consultation.
