Sound familiar? It feels like you’ve tried everything to manage your child’s challenging behaviors and nothing is working. You want to support your child’s self esteem, interpersonal skills, or ability to thrive in their academic environment. You and your child have experienced the loss of a loved one. You struggle to understand how your childhood impacts patterns in your current relationships and how you view yourself and others. If any of those statements resonate, you have come to the right place.

I believe therapeutic change occurs when folks acquire tools, gain insight, and experience connection in a supportive environment. Challenges will continue, grief will still hurt, but I believe through our work together, you can learn to lead with empathy, seek repair and connection, and practice curiosity and compassion as you navigate life's challenges.

We all need support sometimes. You were never meant to do this alone. Let’s connect for a free 20-minute consultation to better understand how we can meet your goals. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

I work with children (and their parents) navigating grief, ADHD, shame, and the unique emotional experiences that can come with giftedness, including twice- and thrice-exceptionality. I also I work with adults who are exploring their childhood experiences to better understand themselves and cultivate self-love. Our work centers on self-compassion and connection as the foundation for growth.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Emotional Freedom Techniques
Energy Psychology
Family Systems
Humanistic
Person-Centered
Play Therapy

I utilize what is known as a prescriptive or "integrative" approach. This means that rather than implementing interventions as dictated by the theory, I have become versed in multiple theories (e.g., play therapy, CBT, Emotional Freedom Techniques) from which I draw my interventions and conceptualizations to meet the needs of my clients. You can read more about my use of theory on my website.
