Life is hard. Many of us are living on autopilot, stuck in the same cycles and not sure where to go from here. Sometimes we just need someone to see the best in us, to hold hope when we're barely hanging on. Whether navigating a challenging job, struggling to show up fully in your relationships, or feel overwhelmed by parenting, I can help you find the tools you need to thrive again. Therapy shouldn't be something we dread, but rather an opportunity to feel encouraged and poured into, inspired and deeply understood.

I work with adolescents, and adults. It is my goal to work in partnership with you and the appropriate family and community members to consider all factors which may be influencing your mental health and well being. Together we will design a plan to support your own resilience and innate healing response. My philosophy is more pragmatic, than theoretical. The focus is not merely on the treatment of symptoms of the disorder, but on achieving health, and a renewed sense of purpose, meaning, and joy. I strive to provide responsive and effective assistance with compassion and respect.

I employ an empathic, collaborative, and highly creative approach to working with clients. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, and I enjoy working with parents to manage and reduce stress. I am attentive and mindful to the needs of individual clients who are wrestling with life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief and loss and anxiety. I also offer skillful supervision for graduate students in their practicum. My high-quality therapeutic services will give you the support you need to shift your mindset, manage your stress, and achieve your life goals.

My work is solutions oriented and focused on (1) individuals diagnosed with OCD/ ADHD /Trichotillomania/Excoriation Disorder/Hoarding and other Neurodiverse conditions experiencing unhelpful thinking as a result of experiences struggling with symptoms such as executive functioning, sensory overload, etc. (2) families raising children with neurodivergent conditions needing support in resolving concerns and strengthening positive relationships at home, and (3) family therapy for adult children experiencing “failure to launch” and diminished autonomy from their parents who are motivated to achieve independence.
