I’m glad you’re here. You may be trying to better understand your child, navigating challenges within your family, or feeling a little stuck yourself. I believe every behavior has meaning, and taking the time to understand the whole person, not just what brings them to therapy, is important to me. Together, we can recognize strengths, make sense of what feels difficult, and find a way forward.
As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a unique perspective to my work with children and families. I support school-aged kids, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life’s many changes and challenges. I especially enjoy helping neurodiverse young people understand themselves and recognize their strengths.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in a genuine interest in getting to know the person sitting across from me. I believe meaningful change begins when people feel safe enough to be themselves and know they are truly heard and understood.
It would be a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.
