I'm also a part of our parent-child interaction therapy team where I work with parents to help them build even stronger, more connected relationships with their children, or even to help navigate some behaviors that might be a little bit challenging.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in culture and safety. I use EMDR, play therapy, PCIT, expressive therapies, and somatic tools to work with you or maybe your child, to help to tap into your strengths and feel seen without judgment.

I am passionate about working with children and families struggling with mental health concerns, crisis, and/or trauma. I will work with you and your child to gain insight and understanding into presenting concerns, develop coping strategies, and ultimately reclaim the life you want and deserve. As a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist, I primarily utilize cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques in my work with children, such that therapeutic activities are specifically targeted to reduce presenting symptoms and alleviate concerns.

First and foremost, I want to say you are not alone. You are not the first parent/caregiver to make the huge respective decision to ask for SUPPORT when it is needed. Isn’t that exactly what we teach our children to do? I feel your pain, I hear your sadness, and I am right here with you to help you through it all. You may feel you’ve exhausted everything in the book, or you just don't know what else to do, leaving you exhausted, burned out or ashamed – that’s where I step in! Parenting is no joke, no blissful forged social media post, nothing that we’re ever truly prepared for. But what we can do is work together and heal together.

I hold additional certifications in trauma informed therapy, PCIT and play therapy.
I work with children who have big feelings, ADHD, anxiety, or learning challenges—and parents who just want to see their child happy and thriving. If your child feels easily frustrated, misunderstood, or discouraged, you’re not alone. Many parents I meet want their child to feel confident, calm, and capable but aren’t sure how to get there. In our work together, I create a safe and playful space for kids to share, learn coping tools, and build confidence—while also supporting you as a parent so your whole family feels more connected and empowered.
