Please contact me for psychotherapy services to help your child manage the "politics" of the playground, creating a structure for "quality time" with your child, understanding the emotional milestones of your child or teenager, coping with grief from death or illness, drugs and alcohol, or divorce and co-parenting with an ex-spouse or partner.
As a child and adolescent therapist I bring warmth and compassion to my work. I have earned the confidence of my clients and admiration from my colleagues for my skills and expertise. I work with children and teenagers to feel more capable and confidant as they move through the challenges, excitement, and opportunities of their childhood. In my practice I work along side parents to develop a child's sense of safety, their capacity to manage their behaviors or self-regulate, enhance their feelings of connection and trust in themselves and others, enhance their capacity for play and learning, and deepen their self understanding.

I have years of experience working with adolescent & adult clients to heal their relationship with food, body image, and exercise addiction.
The best advice I ever received about practicing psychotherapy was, “be a human first and a therapist second." To this day, I hold this sentiment in mind while sitting with my clients. While my approach is informed by robust training, I ultimately hold the view that you are the expert on your own life. I utilize our relationship to help you develop a stronger, more truthful relationship with yourself. From a place of deep awareness, you will feel more empowered to make choices that are right for you, more congruence, connection, and authenticity in your life, more freedom from what burdens you, and more control over your own story.
