Choosing to seek help for yourself, your child, or your family is a brave and transformative step toward healing and growth. I work closely with individuals and families, guiding them through the process of understanding, expressing, and navigating their challenges. Having compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic support during life's most difficult moments is a vital part of the healing journey. You don't have to face your struggles alone—I am here to remind you that your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are important and deserve to be heard.
I specialize in child and adolescent psychology, complex trauma, and play therapy services. I received advanced training and credentialing in these areas. I also provide psychotherapy for individuals of all ages and backgrounds with a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns.
It is important that you find a clinician who is the right fit for you, your child, and/or your family. Reach out for a brief phone consultation to see if I am a good fit for you and if you would like me to guide you in your healing journey.
