My goal is to help children make sense of big feelings, busy brains, and bumpy moments. Some kids have engines that run fast all day long. Others worry so much their tummies start to hurt. Some feel sad and stuck, while others feel mad and mixed up. Some are figuring out friendships, saying goodbye to someone they love, or trying to adjust to new schools, families, or routines. For parents, my goal is to help you make sense of what is going on for your child, why, and how to support them through a lens that is informed by child development, neurobiology, and the scientific research literature on child mental health.

My clinical approach is rooted in the belief that every individual is unique and requires a personalized therapeutic experience. I am passionate about tailoring my interventions to meet the distinctive needs of my clients, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective in addressing the complexities of their lives. I specialize in working with both adolescents and adults navigating high-stress environments and life transitions.

I work with adults who experienced childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or grew up in "complicated" families. You may not use the word “trauma”—maybe it just felt chaotic or unsafe. These early experiences shape how we connect, trust, and see ourselves. My clients often want to heal their inner child or understand their internal parts and systems, feel more secure in relationships, and let go of shame and self-blame. Together, we work to rewrite painful stories, regulate the nervous system, and build a more grounded, compassionate sense of self.

I believe people are fundamentally resilient. But in the face of escalating sociopolitical conflict, climate anxiety and economic uncertainty, even the healthiest among us can struggle to cope.

I believe that the foundation of successful therapeutic work is forming strong, collaborative relationships with my clients. This emphasis is essential when tackling complex problems and stressors. I join with clients to heal from trauma, build emotional skills and resilience, and gain insight into relationships and events, both past and present. I challenge clients to integrate skills gained in sessions into their daily lives and we review progress and adjust the clinical approach as needed.

Welcome! I believe foremost that our best work together can be accomplished by creating and sustaining a unique space where you can feel safe, nurtured, validated, and understood. This will be where you can be who you need and want to be; a place where you can be your most authentic self. Choosing to prioritize yourself can feel very unfamiliar and scary. It can also feel so empowering. It will be my intention to be curious and supportive, and you will be encouraged to share your thoughts and feelings openly, confident that I will neither judge nor reject you.

Are you someone who has always carried the weight of expectations- balancing family, culture, identity, belonging, mental wellbeing, and personal ambitions? You might be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or lingering effects of generational trauma. Perhaps you're struggling with setting boundaries, feeling overwhelmed by familial responsibilities, or dealing with the unspoken rule that mental health isn't something we talk about. Deep down, you want to feel heard, understood, and valued. You want to break cycles, heal from past wounds, and develop a stronger sense of self.
