My original purpose in becoming a psychologist was to understand how to help children who are hurting. I serve children and adolescents who are struggling with a wide variety of concerns, often trauma, depression, anxiety, or self-injury. Of course this also involves support and guidance for their parents. I enjoy using this same developmental perspective to help adults who are struggling with the impact their childhood now has on them, for instance addressing codependency, boundaries, or experiences of childhood abuse. It is a joy to see clients discovering and blossoming into who they are created to be.
I have specialized training in infant mental health, early childhood issues, and attachment disorders, so I see very young children and work with both parents and kids of all ages around adoption issues and complex developmental trauma. I am also trained in EMDR, a certain therapy approach particularly suited to addressing negative life events.
My style is warm, relaxed, and direct. Thanks to a master's degree in theology through Fuller Seminary and 12 years experience at the Meier Clinics, I am skilled at providing spiritually integrated care from a Christian perspective. I love to see clients connecting with God in new ways.
