I work with children, teens, and adults navigating a range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns. My work includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism, emotional regulation difficulties, parenting challenges, and relationship or life stressors across the lifespan. I specialize in working with young children and their parents, as well as autism evaluations and support.
I work with both individuals and families, with an approach that is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in understanding the whole person within the context of their relationships and development.
Treatment with me isn't one-size-fits-all. I offer both therapy and medication management, including CBT, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic work, and PCIT whatever the moment calls for.
Parents are active partners in the work, not bystanders. The goal: kids who understand themselves, parents who feel equipped, and families who can breathe again.
Reaching out is often the hardest part. It means admitting something is hard — and that takes courage and strength. Whether you've been struggling for years or something just shifted, you don't need to have all the answers before you call. You just need to be ready to take one small step.
