Do you notice that your child feels lost, lonely, anxious and/or disconnected? Are you ready for them to find growth. connection, and resilience?
I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults. I find the uniqueness of each client to be an asset in their resilience, growth, and healing.
I believe in the quote "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." It brings up the circumstances as a fact, but also the power to create change in how we look at it and mindfully grow from our experiences. Your child can achieve this too!

We are all deserving of joy, optimism and healthy relationships. Being human is a vulnerable experience and there are things we’re not taught or prepared for.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have a deep understanding of how our relationships impact and are impacted by our emotional and mental well-being.

I am also passionate about working with developmental trauma, inner-child wounding, and attachment injuries, in order to help you become the person, partner, parent, adult child, community member or friend you desire to be.

As a systemic therapist, I think of people kind of like nesting dolls: we all go through life as the little one in the middle, whole and independent, yet undeniably embedded in larger contextual structures. My approach is relational in nature, and in therapy I will meet you with compassion, humor, and non-judgment, holding your whole picture in mind as we work together to integrate the realities of your context with the realities of your heart. My background and training have centered around clinical work with children and adolescents in high-acuity settings.

You’re capable and self-aware, yet still struggling with anxiety, trauma, burnout, or a major life transition. You’ve done the insight work, but old patterns live in your body.

You’re ready to reclaim your voice, vitality, and authentic self.
Therapy is not just talking — it is listening to the body, working with sensation, imagery, and inner experience.
