As both an artist and a therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where teens can be real about what they’re going through—from stress and anxiety to more serious struggles like self-harm, grief, or feeling hopeless. My approach is warm, creative, and collaborative, blending CBT, DBT, and mindfulness with compassion and flexibility. I help teens and their families move through challenges with resilience, whether they’re navigating stress, anxiety, self-discovery, or questions of identity. I am especially affirming of LGBTQ+ youth and provide a safe space for them to explore who they are.

My approach to therapy is to build a trusting relationship where you can start to explore your questions, current pain points, and life story without fear of judgment. My specialty is working with individuals navigating significant changes in their life - loss, identity formation, exploring sexuality, navigating divorce, or becoming a new parent. My approach draws from anti-racist, trauma informed, psychodynamic, systems-focused frameworks.

I do not have a single "specialty" and work with school-age children through seniors.
In my 45 years of post-doctoral experience I've learned to draw from psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral approaches so that I can be most effective. My thinking has always been integrative and that has prevented me from taking a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Over the years it has become clear to me that there are two essential ingredients in helping people change; establishing a strong, real working alliance built on mutual trust, and altering the person's perceptions of themselves and the world around them.

Child Therapists
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
