I help clients manage anxiety, mood shifts, and life transitions by building practical coping tools. My work supports stronger family dynamics, better communication, and more connected home environments. Together, we foster resilience, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of identity and self-worth. I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard and empowered. I guide parents and caregivers in understanding development, strategies, and strengthening bonds with their children. Whether you're navigating stress, parenting challenges, or family dynamics, I’m here to guide your journey toward growth and understanding.
I offer client-centered therapy rooted in empathy and respect, tailored to each person’s emotional, developmental, and relational needs. Modalities include Attachment-Based, Schema, Play, Family, and Trauma-Informed therapies, plus Bibliotherapy and Executive Functioning tools to support healing, growth, and resilience.
As a therapist for children, adolescents, adults and families, I create a safe, empathetic space where clients feel seen and heard. Using evidence-based approaches, I support emotional regulation, resilience, and well-being.
