I also have years of experience and a passion for working with children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, selective mutism, behavioral issues and supporting parents through these challenges.
During this challenging time it is normal to be experiencing some anxiety, nervousness or restlessness. Being home and having major changes in routines can be disorienting for many and trigger impairing mental health conditions. I am offering Telehealth sessions to support people in maintaining mental, emotional and physical health. I provide evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are holistic and multiculturally sensitive.

For over 20 years, my work with individuals, couples, children, and families has been based on the belief that change is possible and most likely to occur when people feel comfortable and safe in relationship, both with themselves and others.
I have worked with clients from a wide variety of cultural, ethnic, socio-economic, and familial backgrounds. I work with adults, couples, children, adolescents, parent- child dyads, and families. I have extensive experience working with families facing challenges in parenting (i.e., managing schedules, family conflict, internet use) and separation/divorce.

**Accepting New Clients** Feel cared for and heard, experience a safe and authentic connection, find clarity, heal from a past or more recent traumatic event. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Provisional Art Therapist and Mindfulness-based Practitioner, I offer a person-centered, strength-based holistic approach to healing. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I work with the creative mind, this work includes art and expressive mediums to understand how our earliest experiences in life create the implicit, behavioral patterns that we can potentially carry with us for a lifetime.

You may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges, feeling caught between identities or cultures. Perhaps you’re navigating the complexities of being LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or part of a marginalized community. You want a space where you feel truly understood, where you can explore your emotions, patterns, and relationships with depth and clarity. You may feel caught between worlds - personally, professionally, or culturally. I work with individuals, teens, and couples to explore what’s beneath the surface, helping you gain clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.

I help clients to know their strengths, how their cultures and families affect them, their needs and their purpose - their very selves. They may lack good ways to get their needs met. Or, they may not be asking the right questions. They may be looking for more calm, more joy and more control over their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Whether assisting adults in life transitions, guiding adolescents in self-discovery, or supporting parents and children during family conflict, I strive to build a welcoming, attuned environment and offer a space where you can explore personal parts of your story without judgment.
I am particularly effective at working with young and emerging adults who seek to navigate daily pressures while forging a life filled with meaning, deep personal connections, and mental well-being. I also have expertise in supporting the social-emotional impacts of learning challenges (e.g., dyslexia) and ADHD that can emerge throughout the lifespan.

I work with children who have difficulty processing big emotions as well as with their caretakers to develop new ways of communicating with one another.
The environment I create for my clients is one of warmth, respect, and deep empathy. When working with children, I mainly use child-centered play therapy. When working with adults, I come from a humanistic lens and incorporate the mind-body connection.
