Update 6/26/26: I have one private pay opening: I work with children, teens, families, and adults who are ready to heal from trauma and build healthy relationships. As a Queer therapist, I support marginalized people to build self-worth and live with a greater sense of wellbeing amidst systems that undermine our inherent value. Working with me is like having a guide for you, your child, and partner(s) in building more loving and liberating relationships with yourself and others. With adults and children alike, I utilize a modality called Brainspotting to heal trauma as well as a sensory room for somatic play therapy.
As a child and family therapist I support all kinds of families (Queer, blended, single parent, polycules, co-parents, parent-young child, and parent-teen) to find ease, harmony, and strong attachment with one another. I use trauma-informed methods, and build trust through somatic practices such as play and movement to calm anxiety and lift depression.
Whether you're a child, teen, or an adult, changing patterns and self-talk that aren't serving you or your family is hard work. Making long-lasting change requires a supportive, safer space to process difficult emotions, traumas, and to know, deep down, that you're worthy of something better. I invite you to reach out to see what's possible.

Regardless of the age of my client, I focus on building trust using a trauma-transformational approach through which deep change is seeded. With young children, I utilize play therapy methods. With families, I lean on Parent Child Interaction Therapy and other somatic and play methods. With all, I tailor to your needs, and lean on my Brainspotting certification for deep healing and resourcing.
