I seek to support families, adolescents, and adults with finding more connection and joy within their relationships. My expertise lies in working with children and families with an extensive understanding of child development, trauma informed practice, and psychotherapy of young children. I also have experience providing therapy to individuals with symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as offer support to those undergoing life transitions. My hope is that we can build a therapeutic relationship that serves as the foundation for creating change and healthy relationships.
During our work together, my goal is to provide a holding space where you are able to make connections between past experiences and present challenges. Together we can identify painful patterns in your life that may be getting in the way of creating fulfilling relationships with your children or other loved ones.
My style is warm, collaborative, and reflective. I use a relational approach as well as a culturally responsive approach and acknowledge that mental health can and is impacted by the socio-political climate and other factors. With children, I use play-based or talk therapy depending on the child’s developmental level.
