A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself, heal from whatever life has thrown at you, and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work. We start where you are.

Hello and welcome! I am a passionate therapist aiming to create a strengthened connection between the mind and body. Our body often remembers before we do, which can cause our reactions to adversity and trauma to feel like an over-reaction. Understanding our body and the experiences stored within it is an important ingredient in working through stored emotions and memories.
Change can be difficult and overwhelming; Alan Watts once said, “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” I encourage you to make this journey yours, move with it and learn the dance that empowers you.

Early intervention is the passion behind my practice. I have spent the majority of my career working with preschool, elementary, middle school ages, and families. Through my twenty years of experience have grown to see the impact therapeutic early intervention can have in high school and beyond. I have grown to extend my passion to working with young adults and supporting them through transitions, college, employment, motivation changes, and future planning, as well as mental health challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, or depression.

Adoption Therapists
Does my adopted child need therapy?
Not every adopted child needs therapy. However, many can benefit from seeing an adoption-informed therapist, especially if they were victims of abuse or neglect, appear withdrawn or disconnected, have behavioral or developmental issues (which may or may not be related to their adoption), are struggling with feelings of grief or loss surrounding their birth parents, or find it difficult to establish an identity, a challenge that often becomes most apparent during adolescence.
When should adoptive parents seek therapy?
Prospective parents can benefit from therapy even before an adoption—for example, to voice worries and fears; to reconcile infertility struggles, if relevant; or simply to prepare themselves for parenthood. After the adoption, parents who are struggling to bond with their child; are unsure how to talk about adoption or related issues, such as race; or whose child is dealing with developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric concerns can address these and other issues with the help of an adoption-competent therapist.
Is family therapy appropriate for adoptive families?
Family therapy can be invaluable for strengthening the bond between adoptive parents and children, helping the latter feel more secure in their place in the family. Family therapy can also help adoptive families navigate complex communication issues—for example, parents who feel uncomfortable discussing race with their child, who in turn feels invalidated by their silence, or a child who has questions about his birth parents but avoids asking them out of fear of hurting his adoptive parents’ feelings.
What therapy is not appropriate for adoption issues?
A discredited therapy known as “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy” or “rebirthing therapy”) should not be used to treat adopted and foster children, though it was largely designed for this population. Attachment therapy involves restraining, coercing, and punishing the child in order for them to “release” negative emotions and attach to their new caregivers—techniques that are abusive and dangerous and have even proven fatal in some cases.
