About

As your therapist, I will help you share your story to better understand how it may be presenting problems for you in the present, as "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”(Maya Angelou). You may have patterns of handling relationships/situations & want to get unstuck from your usual patterns. We will practice new ways of thinking & doing in a non-judgmental and safe atmosphere. Whatever you are facing, I am here to help you through it. I have flexible hours to help people via telehealth, particularly for overwhelmed parents. I work around you/your child's hectic schedules.
My niche is to work with people who have a hard time connecting, have lost hope, or are just feeling stuck. I enjoy working with children, adolescents & adults, particularly with life transitions, depression, anxiety, Tourette and trauma. I have specialized training in trauma, selective mutism & Tourette disorder.
My therapy practice is called Lotus Psychology Practice, b/c I am inspired by the lotus flower. It grows out of the mud. Some get stuck in the mud and don't know how to get out of it. That is where I come in. Many people read these profiles, send an email, but then don’t follow up. I encourage you to take this step. I will be there with you for the next one.

Misadventures in Parenting

Parenting is probably the hardest thing you will ever have to do! I am not just a psychologist with an expertise in parent training, but also a mom to 4 children. The struggle is real! This group will help you focus on practical strategies to implement to help you get a better grip on how to approach your children. This group is geared toward parents of children ages 3- 8.

Tween Scene

While social skills is associated with interaction with peers in a group setting, we are charged with the task of thinking more flexibly in our new normal. With that, I would like to offer a social skills group for middle school kids. Parents are certainly concerned about the loss of social skills garnered during the school year. It is my aim to meet the needs of so many children who do not have the opportunity to readily practice interacting with peers with the support of a trained doctoral level psychologist. Please check out my website: www.lotuspsychologypractice.com for information.
