You or your child may be feeling overwhelmed—by anxiety, stress, big emotions, or life changes that seem hard to navigate. Maybe your child is struggling with emotional regulation, relationships, or attention challenges, and you want to support them in a way that truly helps. Perhaps as a teen or adult, you're working through trauma, ADHD, depression, panic, or attachment wounds, and you’re looking for a space where you can process these experiences while also building confidence in yourself and your relationships. If you want to feel more grounded, connected, and equipped to handle life’s ups and downs, let's work together!
I specialize in helping children, teens, couples, & adults work through stress, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, & relational challenges. My approach is creative, empathetic, and practical—grounded in evidence-based techniques and tailored to your unique needs. I'm trained in and use Theraplay, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and more.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do this alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood. Therapy is not just about working through challenges—it’s about discovering your strengths, deepening your connections, and moving toward a more fulfilling life. I’d love to support you on this journey!

I use ecological and attachment-based models in my practice- this means we'll explore your background, your family of origin, your experiences, and what patterns, beliefs, and hidden rules your brain has learned from these on a basic, intrinsic level that may be maintaining problems. During treatment, we'll work on helping your brain learn & shift in ways that will make life feel more manageable!
