My approach is largely cognitive-behavioral. This means that I believe that one’s thought patterns contribute to one’s feelings and behaviors, and in changing faulty thought processes, we can achieve improvement. My work is solution-focused, which means that I push toward change, setting concrete, attainable goals. I also believe that we are products of our environments. Thus, I often guide clients in examining past patterns and relationships to determine where their symptoms were learned. This is done in an attempt to change maladaptive patterns. It is my goal to be nurturing, empathic, & supportive through this process.

I work with children, teens, young adults, and parents navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, family conflict, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Many of the children and families I support are struggling with school stress, emotional outbursts, separation anxiety, trauma, or changes within the family system. Through a warm, collaborative, and developmentally tailored approach, I help clients build coping skills, improve emotional understanding, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

Accepting new clients! You’ve been carrying more than most people realize. Maybe you’ve been living with chronic pain, navigating a complicated medical diagnosis, or trying to show up for your family while your own body feels unpredictable. Maybe you’re a mother (new or seasoned) who feels exhausted, stretched thin, and unsure who’s taking care of you. Or maybe you’re supporting a child who’s struggling, and you’re tired of feeling like no one fully hears your concerns. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I provide psychoeducational evaluations that give families a clear picture of their child’s learning profile. These assessments often help when a student is falling behind in reading or math, has trouble focusing, or when parents and schools are unsure whether challenges stem from ADHD, dyslexia, or another learning difference. The goal is to replace uncertainty with practical answers that can guide IEPs, 504 plans, or academic supports—so children feel more confident and better understood at school.

Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

Taking the first step to begin therapy can feel vulnerable, and sharing painful feelings and experiences is an act of great trust. I help my clients become aware of patterns and dynamics in relationships, life choices, and sense of self, along with the emotions and beliefs that underlie them, so they can choose new paths that more closely match their values. I offer an accepting, warm, and honest therapeutic relationship, through which you may gain a sense of confidence, self-compassion, and growth that helps you feel more comfortable and capable in your life.

I specialize in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children and adolescents, including early years (pre-K), gifted students, people with autism, and disabilities. Child psychotherapy is a process that begins with establishing safety and trust in a new relationship. Meaning and patterns emerge over time and are understood within the relationship, through drawing, talking, and playing. Understanding leads to a decrease in “the behaviors”, as it gives meaning to the feelings and thoughts underlying the behaviors. This leads to improvements in relationships and an increase in the capacity to reflect and to think on one’s own.
