I have purposely focused on my skillset to best serve youth and children, teens, young adults, adults and families.
From an early age I have had a passion for helping others in an impactful way. I aspire and dedicate my time working with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, family discord, personality disorders and ADHD. Therapy can be scary and in many communities, still very stigmatized. I aid in assisting individuals who make a brave decision to seek out therapy for self or close loved ones, in order to live the best life possible.

I am passionate about supporting people who range in age from early childhood through adulthood. My background in child psychology informs my work with adults as well, as I am always considering how a person's developmental path and early relationships have shaped them. In therapy, I strive to bring empathy, warmth, and humor to the process. You can expect me to be curious about and accepting of your experiences as I support you in actively working towards change. I am sensitive to issues related to disability, immigration, and non-traditional forms of family building, and welcome all to my practice.

I have spent years working with children and families in school and therapeutic settings as they navigate life struggles and challenges.
Now Accepting New Clients. Life is a journey with no shortage of challenges. We encounter these as we navigate parenthood or face many types of grief and loss. At times things become overwhelming and we need someone to journey with and guide us through managing stress and anxiety in order to cope and regain a sense of control. We all need a safe place to explore our thoughts and feelings to help us make sense of our world.

You have taken the first step in supporting your child by seeking mental health services.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young teens (5-15) with neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral challenges. The world is not designed for neurodiverse individuals, which may cause your child to struggle. I also appreciate working with their siblings and caretakers as I acknowledge it is a unique life experience of loving someone with a neurodevelopmental disorder. To address my client's goals, I utilize evidence-based interventions and techniques from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), pivotal response treatment (PRT), and mindfulness.
