“And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom “ Anaïs Nin. I use a "here and now" approach and believe therapy is a joint effort in healing emotional wounds so that my clients can live more fully and peacefully in their present life. I believe relationships are healing, and a strong connection and open dialogue is the most effective path toward change. It's important to find a therapist who makes you feel safe, valued and understood. Both my professional and personal experiences have demonstrated to me how challenges can be opportunities for personal growth

Welcome to my practice! If you're reading this, maybe you've been having a rough time. Maybe you've been feeling anxious or depressed, beyond where that seems ok.

I believe wholeheartedly that all people possess the innate ability to grow and heal. I see myself as an ally and guide on your personal journey of self-discovery. Life can be overwhelming and uncertain. I offer a place for clients to experience respite from the demands of everyday life, and focus inward. I work with children and adults. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative. In my work, I draw on Existential Therapy, Depth Psychology, Buddhist Psychology, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy.

Practice FULL. I am a child psychologist and deeply respect parents who seek support for themselves and their children. My therapeutic approach is nonjudgmental, creative, and respectful of each individual's unique experience. I invest significant time and energy in establishing a strong partnership with your child and help him/her develop a personal investment in therapy. By prioritizing these two important elements, I have helped many children who have not benefited from therapy in the past. I also provide a therapeutic experience that is comfortable for children who are initially opposed to or skeptical of therapy.

It takes real courage to ask for help and prioritize your wellbeing! Maybe you are realizing a need to look back and heal from old wounds, or maybe you’re hoping to transform your life and move into new ways of being. Healing and transformation are both possible, and I’m here to support you in these endeavors. I aim to give space to the parts of you that are wanting to break through while also acknowledging the parts of you that may fear or push against this change (with compassion!). I also offer support to couples through rebuilding friendship, practicing healthy communication, and increasing a sense of agency.
