The primary goal in my work is to bridge the gap between caregivers and their children, helping to improve family relationships and create a more peaceful and connected home. I specialize in providing family therapy and supporting caregivers who are struggling to meet their child’s behavioral or mental health needs. I also support caregivers who want to increase their parental teamwork and establish a more productive co-parenting relationship. Additionally, I provide counseling services to children and adolescents who are struggling at home and/or school, often due to difficulties with emotional regulation, depression, or anxiety.
I provide caregivers the tools and support they need to meet the unique needs of their children. My practice is grounded in a deep understanding of relational neuroscience with a focus on connection, parental & youth safety, and self-regulation skills. I offer Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Nonviolent Resistance Therapy, and Child-Centered Play Therapy.
If you feel you have lost your way as a parent and are unsure how to help your struggling child, please reach out to me. Parenting is hard, and no one should have to do it alone!

I am in network with a number of major insurance providers. Insurance benefits should be confirmed by the client prior to the first appointment and our office staff at Life in Balance can help with that process. I also have self-pay rates and can provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients.

I am an adoption-competent therapist who has an extensive background working with the parents of youths who have been involved with the child welfare system, who are diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders, and/or have experienced developmental trauma. During our work together, parents will learn ways to meet the unique needs of their children without sacrificing their own needs and safety.
