Whether we are working on parenting, partnership, or personal self-development, my goal is to help you regulate your nervous system, understand your patterns, and make intentional, grounded choices.
I frequently support clients who are:
- navigating parenting stress or special education systems,
- recovering from relational trauma or divorce,
- managing anxiety, burnout, or emotional overwhelm,
- seeking to understand long-standing relational patterns,
- working to strengthen their relationship with their child.
Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, growth-oriented, and when appropriate, humor is very present.
With children, my work is play-centered and developmentally informed. I help children develop emotional vocabulary, identify and name feelings, recognize how emotions show up in their bodies, and learn healthy ways to express and regulate those feelings. With adults, I work from an attachment-focused, relational and nervous system-informed framework.
I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher and life coach, and when appropriate, incorporate mind-body techniques to help clients move insight into embodied change. This practice is dedicated to providing an inclusive, allied, and culturally-sensitive environment where every family member feels respected and valued.
