I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with children, tweens, teens, and young adults.
I provide individual psychotherapy. However, I often involve members of a client's family system in order to better generalize treatment interventions outside of the therapeutic setting.

Anxiety is our best friend in times of real threat and danger. However, anxiety can become unhelpful in situations when it is excessive, disproportionate to actual danger posed, or gets in the way. This is the type of anxiety clients typically come to see me for help, whether in the context of an anxiety disorder or OCD-spectrum disorder. Clients establish treatment with me to take back what anxiety and OCD took from them in order to live their lives as they would like. Individuals who struggle with attention and learning seek me for psychological testing to gain insight into their strengths, areas of growth, and learning styles.

You may be exploring growth or old patterns—through your gender, sexuality, relationships, spirituality, or how you move through culture. In shared space we stay curious about desire, intimacy, connection, and meaning. We notice both excitement and moments of overwhelm. We slow down to speak honestly about pleasure, identity, longings, and strengths. This creates a space where your insight, resilience, and capacity for growth, exploration, creativity, and self-expression are welcomed and celebrated. Together we can uncover what brings joy, the ability to thrive, and deeper connection in your life.

My specialty is in treating infants and young children via their relationships with their caregivers.
I specialize in neuro-developmental conditions (e.g., ADHD, autism, sensory processing difficulties, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder). My training in Developmental Psychology, Infant Mental Health, and Clinical Neuropsychology, and my 30+ years experience, have taught me to put parents first, intervene early, and collaborate with medical doctors, developmental therapists, and schools for the strongest outcomes in these conditions.

I provide evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming support for autistic children ages 2–12, along with coaching for their parents, caregivers, and teachers.
These options range from comprehensive (several sessions per week) to focused (less frequent) therapy sessions. Most sessions are provided in the child’s natural environment—including home, school, or community —rather than in the office. We come to the places where challenges naturally arise, allowing us to work directly within the real-world context.

Do you feel like your child’s emotions are in the driver’s seat, steering your whole home toward conflict and meltdowns?

Flexible, high-quality video sessions that fit into your family’s busy California or Oregon schedule.

Whether you have experienced something traumatic, or you are struggling with minor issues I want to help. I enjoy helping people with a wide variety of problems including mental health issues, addictions, grief, and relationship problems. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives. It is my desire as a counselor to join the client as a collaborative team, setting and working towards counseling goals. I hold a christian worldview but out of respect I will not impose my beliefs onto my client, unless christian counseling is something you are also interested in.

My practice provides support to children and families managing the trauma and anxiety of our current political environment.
People are doing the best they can with the tools they have, given all of the stressors they are up against. My role as a therapist is to assist clients in learning new tools and dig deeper into their internal world to find and address barriers from within. It is also crucial to look at how the individual relates to the world around them, from interpersonal relationships to cultural values. I recognize and value cultural differences and strive to provide anti-racist and trauma informed care.

Throughout life, unhelpful patterns, societal messages, trauma and oppressive systems may have promoted disconnection within yourself, in your relationships, and to nature. In sessions, I strive to guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself, your patterns and influences, so that you can move forward with more clarity and agency. I believe that through reflection, insight, and deepening connections both within ourselves and with others, we can achieve healing and more possibilities. I have a systemic and relational lens, and while I enjoy working with many populations, I specialize in working with couples and individuals.

I believe everyone deserves care that honors their unique experiences! I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating identity, relationships, or intergenerational wounds. They may feel stuck in dominant stories that no longer serve them — stories shaped by trauma, marginalization, perceived, expected or inherited roles and identities. They long for connection, meaning, and growth, even if they’re unsure how to begin. Whether exploring sexuality, managing conflict, or shifting patterns, they want support for their healing journey that feels authentic, collaborative and affirming.
