Many families come to therapy feeling like they have tried everything & are at a loss with how to help their child regulate their emotions & behaviors. I collaborate with caregivers to understand & manage their infant/toddler/young child's behaviors through developmental & relational frameworks which create positive change in family dynamics. I work with children (0-8 yrs) & their caregivers to promote secure attachment, bonding, and mutual enjoyment. I also work with individual adults, most of whom are struggling with perinatal mental health, stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, parenting, ADHD, & interpersonal trauma.

“But this revolutionary act of treating ourselves tenderly can begin to undo the aversive messages of a lifetime.” ― Tara Brach. Seeking counseling is a truly courageous act, and one that I want to honor, while guiding you to a new way of looking at life that provides relief and clarity. I sincerely enjoy creating a safe, non-judgmental and open minded space that fosters compassion and curiosity, that teaches and encourages self-compassion as well. I offer a holistic and integrative therapeutic approach that is customized to your unique background and needs, often working collaboratively to discuss your progress and preferences.

I am passionate about helping people work through traumatic experiences that are holding them back from their fullest potential. Trauma can affect our lives in a variety of ways, and my goal is to work from a trauma informed approach to let go of what is holding you back from what you want for yourself and your life. I believe that therapy is always client driven, meaning that you are the expert in your own life. My approach is based on what you are looking to gain from the experience of therapy, and provide the necessary support for you to find your authentic self.

I am an insight based therapist and believe that so much of therapy is about connecting important dots and understanding how they inform our own origin stories. I honor the therapeutic relationship and what it means to support clients at their pace as they work through their own therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a space for people where they can more deeply understand themselves and the relationships around them; understand how the various spheres of influence (e.g., family or origin, religious upbringing) can shape our thoughts/beliefs in the present, as well as gain clarity on the direction they want to go in the future.

Emotions can be both wonderful and scary. Feeling alone in a crowd, or feeling crowded when alone, can happen to anyone. We may ask ourselves: "What am I afraid of?", "Why am I angry?", "Why did I just do that?", or "Why is this happening?" We may also tell ourselves, "I don't deserve this.", "I always mess things up.", or "No one can help me." If you can relate to these types of questions or statements, I may be able to help.

Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing emotional pain or stress, even confusion about a situation or about yourself. Life challenges can pile up and seem overwhelming. Worry can interfere with relationships, work, and sleep. One goal of therapy is to relieve stress and every session should offer greater understanding of issues and relief in some way. Maybe you feel all alone with your concerns—it’s normal to feel that way. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place to be heard, and for you to feel safe with all of your feelings and thoughts, even those that you feel no one else has.
