I am a marriage and family therapy associate with a creative, collaborative, client-centered, and compassionate approach to therapy. I journey with clients and families of all ages as they navigate anxiety, perfectionism, eating disorders, depression, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, parenting issues, and life transitions. I have found that I work exceptionally well with children of all ages, as well as with children and their families who have experienced the loss of a parent or a sibling. I also enjoy working with teachers. I look forward to using animal-assisted therapy with my dog, Pippi, once she is fully trained.
With me, the therapy room is a place for exploration. I use art, writing, storytelling, play, and Internal Family Systems to help make the abstract more concrete and progress more possible. Since I taught and coached middle and high school students for 11 years, I am well-suited to working with families navigating this phase of life.
As a survivor of childhood cancer, I know life doesn't always go as planned. Whatever your struggles, you and your family deserve to have someone who listens and supports you on the road to hope and healing. The first step on this journey is reaching out. I look forward to hearing your story.

My experience with children goes beyond the therapy room, as I have eleven years of experience as a middle school teacher and seven years as a middle and high school coach. As a mother of three young kids, I am skilled at connecting with and empowering very young children (2-6) through play.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, and feelings of worthlessness related to their relationships, family, or school environment. We will delve into the issues you bring to therapy and explore how different systems in your life contribute to these feelings. Parent/family sessions are often held to promote communication and strengthen relationships.

I often use Internal Family Systems and other experiential therapies in my practice. In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and collaborate on a treatment plan. During therapy, if you're interested, we'll use creative methods to help you explore and engage with the parts of yourself that serve as protectors and those that have been exiled.
