I work with children (ages 2+), teens, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional dysregulation, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, and relationship struggles. Whether it’s a young child expressing emotions through play, a teen navigating social issues, or an adult seeking clarity and confidence, I provide a compassionate and intentional space for healing. I believe growth doesn’t happen in isolation, so I partner with families to strengthen communication, build understanding, and create more supportive, connected home environments.
I blend creative, evidence-based approaches like play, sand tray, CBT, DBT, and art therapy to support each client. With 23+ years working with children and families, and several years of group work, and intensive outpatient care, I create a nurturing space where clients and families feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow with confidence.
As your therapist, it is important to me that I consistently provide you with a safe, nurturing, understanding, and non-judgmental environment, where you will feel seen, heard, and empowered. I believe in a collaborative style, and am prepared to walk alongside you throughout this journey.
