Is fear preventing you from doing what you need to do? When you look around you, does it seem as if everyone else has got their lives figured out, and you're still stuck in a rut? All of us carry beliefs about ourselves that were formed from our experiences and from what others have said about us. Even though we may be able to recognize some of these beliefs as untrue, sometimes we just cannot shake off the feeling that perhaps we are just not good enough. If this speaks to what you've been going through, I can help.

Welcome! I am a Child & Family Therapist and Drama Therapist experienced in working with children (ages 3+), teens, parents/caregivers, and families. I specialize in treating behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment difficulties, and social/emotional challenges. I also work with parents and caregivers to provide positive parenting support. My practice combines traditional talk therapy with artistic, experiential, and play-based therapeutic techniques. My approach is to compliment, enhance, and expand evidence-based cognitive behavioral “talk therapy” treatment models through creative and expressive means.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults and young adults. I approach the therapeutic relationship with genuine curiosity, openness and warmth and seek to provide a comfortable environment for you to explore your concerns. I see the therapeutic process as an opportunity for you to gain personal insight so that you may achieve satisfaction in yourself and your relationships. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, general mood disorders, stress management, anger, grief, family-of-origin concerns, and trauma. I also welcome those who are new to therapy.

I believe finding a therapist you genuinely trust and feel safe with is the most essential piece to gain from any therapeutic intervention. As such, I strongly encourage you to be patient with yourself and listen to how you feel when searching for that fit. I value transparency; my style is compassionately direct. Psychotherapy can be uncomfortable because the process involves approaching the barriers that restrict you. In our work, we will approach discomfort together as I believe exposure and empowerment are catalysts for true change and personal growth.

Loss doesn’t only occur when someone dies. At times, the grief that accompanies loss can be debilitating. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of an opportunity, or the loss of faith in ourselves or our world, grief can make us question everything we know. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Together we can work through the pain of grief to accept the reality of the loss and adjust to living a new and fulfilling life.

I want to learn about your unique life experiences that have made you who you are. Your perspectives, passions, interests, and aspirations serve as invaluable tools in therapy and can help guide us towards the growth and future you envision. I strongly believe that therapy is an experience that must be built from trust and collaboration and I aspire to maintain a space same and judgment free. As such, I believe that being respectful and mindful of contextual factors that impact our lives (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion/ spirituality) is an integral aspect of therapy.

In addition to traditional talk therapy sessions, I also work well with clients who are seeking a holistic approach to address emotional, mental, and spiritual/energetic needs.

I am highly intuitive, assisting you to clear what is blocking you energetically on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels.
