My passion is helping individuals move through challenges and toward living life as their most authentic self through exploring and utilizing the personal energy and wisdom they already possess. This may include navigating significant transitions while maintaining a sense of self, finding strength and meaning in dark times, or facilitating present moment awareness and joy.

Hello and welcome to my page. With over 15 years of experience, I work with children (ages 3-18) and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, adjustment-related stress, chronic illness, relationship challenges and behavioral problems. My therapeutic approach largely depends on the age and needs of the child, teen, or family. Mindful Self Compassion, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play and art therapy, as well as attachment-based and relational work are modalities I use often. I also offer psychological evaluations to help clarify diagnoses, identify intellectual abilities (learning disorder, ADHD, giftedness), and/or identify underlying personality and motivations.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling to deal with life changes or trauma? If so, counseling is a fantastic option to help heal and move through these difficult experiences.

I also utilize a technique called Brainspotting to help decrease emotional reactivity and trauma symptoms.
