Your family may be feeling like it is being turned upside down as your developing young adult struggles to find their place in the world. I work within the family system to re-establish the balance that is necessary for a healthy, growing family and find order within the chaos. Teens and young people may appear to be rebelling; fighting back against all of the families efforts to offer guidance and support. We can work together to turn this energy into a productivity and success in academic, social, and all other aspects of life.

Are you a deep-feeler who worries you feel too much, while also feeling like an empty shell? You tend to give so much of yourself that you often end up merging with others and losing yourself. You long for mutually supportive relationships where you both feel seen and understood. But, if you’re honest, people often take advantage of your generosity and empathy, so you’ve found ways to escape even your own pain. You are tired of repeating these patterns and feeling stuck, and you are ready to create some space for what you need.

Hello there! I have experience in supporting clients through the identification and treatment of a variety of clinical concerns, with much of my training involving work with individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. My approach to diagnostics and treatment is to collaboratively establish tangible goals while exploring deeper patterns and insights. My clients typically work through pressing initially on a more frequent basis, titrating down once stability has been established. The collaborative relationship for assessment clients is as emphasized as it is for those seeking treatment.
