Negative thinking patterns are part of our human condition. These patterns become problematic and particularly disturbing when we are faced with stressful circumstances. At those times we feel stuck. Yet there is a way out, a way to process and let go of that which is no longer serving us. Therapy is the process of gaining insight into the workings of our minds and to allow for new choices of thinking of feeling to reveal themselves, as we heal, one step at at time.

Through collaboration with parents, we work with families, children, and adolescents to tap into playfulness, creativity, and connectedness.
If you’ve ever tried to talk with your child about their feelings, they probably rolled their eyes, said “I don’t know," or simply ignored you. This is where play therapy comes in. Play therapy allows children to work through difficult emotions without feeling awkward or uncomfortable.

I am a warm and attentive therapist who understands that coming to therapy is a commitment of time, finances and energy. I believe the main goals of therapy are for a client to enhance self-awareness, and to develop skills that guide life-long, healthy decision-making.

I enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and want to achieve their potential in relationships, career and creative endeavors, or contemplating a life change, such as embarking on a new career or ending a relationship.

With children and teens, I practice play and talk therapy to build understanding of deep worries and struggles and to find new forms for expression and connection.
I approach therapy as an active and collaborative process that supports you to connect with your desires.

We ask honest questions and pay attention to the connections between what is personally felt and collectively shared. Over time, we attend to the roots of struggles to bring about meaningful change. I work with adults both individually and in couples and relationships.

My ideal client is someone who has been carrying a lot on their own and feels overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a transition. They may look “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected or unsure on the inside. They want a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of their thoughts and emotions, understand their patterns, and feel more grounded. Their goal is to find clarity, balance, and a version of life that actually feels like theirs.
