I successfully work with adults, adolescents, children, and families by using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT), and Eco-Systemic Family (ESFT) therapies. I implement these techniques by personalizing them to your specific therapeutic journey so that you and your family can learn the skills needed to persevere over depression, anxiety, and trauma while also mastering interventions that can aid you in improving your communication and social skills.

Are there times in your life when you find yourself reaching for a life goal and just can't seem to get there? You know something is in the way, but you just can't put your finger on what it is. Perhaps you're feeling down and just can't motivate yourself to do much of anything. Or you have lots of energy but you just get sidetracked all the time and just can't seem to focus. Or maybe there's conflict with a spouse, a family member, or a close friend. Whatever the reason, psychotherapy can uncover the mystery so you can live your life in your most productive, satisfying, and gratifying way.

My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming. My primary focus is working with children (age 3 and up), teens, and young adults as they navigate a world that can be confusing and complex. Many of my clients are neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, dyslexia). I also work with individuals with anxiety, depression, sensory processing differences, executive functioning challenges, and divergent ways of communicating and socializing. In particular, I have significant experience supporting teens and young adults as they transition to adulthood, helping them navigate this daunting but exciting time in their lives.

As a therapist and education advocate, I want to work with the clients who are ready to work to resolve conflict, process their emotions and relationship issues. Also, to help parents as advocates for their children's educational needs with a IFSP, IEP and 504 Plans.

I feel that I am best suited to work with clients from the Family Systems Approach and Advocate of edcuation knowing that each individual is part of a familial context larger than themselves.

Being a parent is not easy and it's OK to reach out for help when your child's behavior is a bigger challenge than you ever expected. As a child and family counselor I enjoy helping families with children with developmental, emotional and behavioral concerns. I will work with your family to help you find effective parenting solutions, achieve better communication, and re-discover the joy of being around each other. I also provide mental health counseling and support to young adults transitioning to adulthood and aging out of the special education system.

My ideal client may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—whether due to Autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or chronic disability. They might struggle with focus, emotional regulation, or identity-related stress. Many are looking for practical tools, greater self-understanding, or gender-affirming care in a supportive space. I work with teens, early adolescents, and adults who want to feel more in control, more connected, and more like themselves.

Everyone can use an objective voice to help them work out what is going on in their lives. Sometimes relief can begin just by deciding that a little help won’t hurt. “Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom” (Ashleigh Warner). This is my philosophy for counseling. I have done work with children/adolescents and their families. Mental health concerns manifest differently in children/teens than they do in adults, and I know what to look for and how to help find the skills to help.
