For too long, you’ve hidden the parts of yourself deemed unacceptable, so much so that you think you’re the problem. We are all recovering from the experience of living. At times, we all feel off balance, afraid, and alone. Building a safe and trusting relationship is crucial to bring those hidden parts to light. I am privileged to journey with children and adults building tolerance to witness their pain and make meaning of trauma. Through self-discovery, you can move courageously toward authentic living. Whether I'm working with a 3 or 30 year old, I strive to be curious, empathetic, and respectful of the unique human that you are.
I am licensed clinical psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I work with people of all ages, specializing in preschool-aged children and adolescents. Working collaboratively with caregivers we can identify things that aren't going so well, make changes, and do more of the things that are working. Everyone has strength and resiliency to tap into.
My clinical work began with children who experienced complex trauma. I saw how diverse the experiences and reactions to terrible events can be while seeing the benefits of mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and acceptance in tolerating distress and building confidence. Prioritizing safety and connection, we can work together to move in a value-driven direction.

Often the reason one seeks therapy is not the main gain of therapy. The impetus for beginning this journey gives one the opportunity for incredible discovery. Your path toward self-exploration and self-love will include a blend of psychodynamic and Eastern philosophy. Practical strategies (CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness) will get you started down this beautiful, though usually challenging, course.
