I specialize in working with children, teens, and families navigating somatic symptoms, sleep issues, medical stress, and emotional or behavioral concerns. My clients are looking for support that’s collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based care. They want to better understand what’s going on, learn practical tools to manage symptoms, and feel more empowered. Together, we focus on building resilience, improving functioning, and supporting the whole person in context.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist that provides integrated behavioral health care for youth and families. With a focus on social determinants of health, I tailor care to each child’s context—helping families navigate complex needs with clarity, compassion, and practical tools.
I genuinely believe that therapy works best when there’s a meaningful connection between the client, therapist, and approach. To help you explore whether we’re the right match, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. If it turns out I’m not the best fit for your needs, I’m happy to connect you with someone from my amazing network of exceptional practitioners.
