It’s ok to not be ok. As moms, we want nothing more than to keep our children safe and raise them to be fulfilled and happy. When unexpected trauma occurs, it upsets the life we had envisioned for them, and brings fear, uncertainty, and other big emotions that no child should have to handle - and no parent could be prepared to handle. We can't change what happened, but we can walk with you and your child to make sure you aren't navigating the process alone.

I work with children (birth-18), adolescents, and families.
My work is relationally based. I believe that development throughout our lives is formed through our relationships. The therapeutic relationship we share will be an important factor in understanding, improving, establishing, and responding to those relationships. Even when things are particularly tough or uncomfortable, creating and tolerating change can be daunting. It’s easy for individuals and families to get stuck in old patterns that no longer meet their needs. We’ll look at those patterns: how they developed, how they affect you, and how to take steps toward freeing you and your family.

I help my clients, who include children, adults and couples, build their capacity to relate to their feelings and connect with others.
Most of us lug around a suitcase full of our thoughts, feelings, family history and past experiences and have no idea what's in there. Our current responses to and experience of life come from the contents of that suitcase. Together in therapy we gently unpack it. We will see what is working for you, what needs more support and what has served it's purpose but no longer works. I work collaboratively and am curious about all the things that make you who you are. I am particularly interested in working with people who feel misunderstood or unimportant.

In the short term, I am directive and structured, and will work with you, your spouse or your child to put out any "fires" --acute stressors such as job loss, divorce, heartbreak or addiction issues need to be resolved before the deeper work of therapy can begin.
I tend to be quite direct in my approach and begin therapy with a combination of focused goal and solution oriented work. As the therapy proceeds, I then branch out into deeper issues concerning the unconscious, dream work, unresolved trauma and more. Additionally, I specialize and am not limited to, treating depression, anxiety and chemical dependency. Lastly, I also enjoy working with adolescents, couples and families. ** I host a podcast called "Look, Just Tell Me What To Do" which addresses issues related to mental health which is available here https://lookjusttellmewhattodo.podbean.com/ or on most podcast platforms.

I coach parents on how to advocate for their children within the school setting.
I specialize in working with youth, young adults, and their families to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be in terms of their roles as students and the many identities they are taking on as they grow and develop. I use neuropsychology to establish habits that provide a baseline for managing stress and regulating energy. I apply CBT and other evidence-based practices to support mood management and develop the mindset necessary to achieve goals, and mindfulness and relaxation strategies to sustain behavior change. I facilitate advocacy with schools to reinforce behavior change in a supportive environment.

Specializing in therapy with children, adolescents, and women, I provide a safe space to discuss, explore, and address difficult issues and life events.
I support young people to find their voice, become more self confident, and communicate in a way that expresses their needs. Many times there is a disconnect between behavior and desires. I work closely to increase awareness of why these behaviors are happening and encourage an awareness to begin to identify triggers, with an overall goal of self awareness and self control.

I am certified as an adult and child Jungian psychoanalyst.
Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to reduce emotional suffering, to understand what gets in the way of becoming the person we want to be, and to find a meaningful path forward. In my work with adult clients, I often am engaged around significant relationship challenges, health and wellness concerns, career misgivings, and blocks in expressing oneself. My approach with children and teenagers emphasizes developmental strengths, family supports, and planning for the future. I provide clinical consultation to other mental health professionals for many of these same topics.
