I believe relationships are the key to meaningful change. The relationship we have within ourselves—our self-talk, beliefs, and inner world— and our relationships with others and the broader world around us, deeply shape how we feel, function, and grow. Naturally, the therapeutic relationship is an important factor in successful therapeutic outcomes. My approach with clients is warm, relational, collaborative and strengths-based. When trust is established and people feel genuinely cared for, meaningful exploration can occur, new understanding can emerge, and lasting change becomes possible.
I work with children, teens and adults experiencing stress due to parent/family conflict, difficulty at school, behavior, worried/scary thoughts, life transitions, depression, anxiety, different learning abilities, neurodivergence, identity exploration, and more. I support couples and families in their attempts to reduce conflict and increase connection.
Finding the right fit is important when it comes to a therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a nurturing space where clients feel truly heard, understood, and supported. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, encouraging, and deeply invested in your well-being, I would be honored to work with you. Please reach out for a free consultation.

Play therapy centers play as a child's most natural language and can include art, games, make-believe, role plays, sensory activities, and other forms of creative expression to help children process and/or communicate their thoughts and feelings. I work closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance on how to navigate transitions and create more stable, emotionally safe environments.

My clinical training has shaped a systemic perspective, meaning I pay close attention to the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships—particularly within families and primary attachment relationships. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma informed practices and strive to be culturally sensitive, humble and aware.
