I work with young children, teens, and families who are navigating autism, developmental delays, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. Many of the families I see feel overwhelmed, unsure how to best support their child, or frustrated by systems like school and IEP processes. I help parents and children better understand what’s going on, build practical tools, and create more confidence and connection at home and in daily life.

Deciding to participate in therapy can be a daunting decision for many reasons. I truly believe though that everyone deserves the opportunity to talk to someone who is not just a friend or family member and at an affordable rate.

Everyone's journey in therapy looks different and I am on board to be a part of your journey! Let's talk and maybe resolve some of those unresolved feelings and situations :)

The metrics of a good relationship are clear and well researched. 'Small things done often' makes the greatest impact on relationship happiness. We focus on attunement, accountability, building empathy and wise communication patterns that increase intimacy and trust. As you practice skills in session and use them at home you will see things change. Things may improve sooner than you expect. This work is grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy, the Developmental Model of The Couples Institute, the gold standard research of the Gottman Institute and advances in neuroscience. I also work with individuals seeking wholeness and healing.
