I also provide individual therapy with adults.
Family conflicts and understanding your child or teen can be frustrating, but with the right help and support, understanding your child or teen can be a wonderful experience. I've been working with children and adolescents for over 15 years. I love working with children and adolescents, because I struggled during those years, myself, and would have benefited from someone helping me to understand the various emotional struggles a child or teen goes through. I specialize in working with individuals living with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADD/ ADHD, depression, anxiety, and school and home behavioral problems.

My experience has been in psychiatric inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings working with adolescents and adults struggling with disease process, mental health and trauma-related challenges, body image disturbances as well as substance use dependencies.
Hello! I take a warm and direct approach to therapy as we journey through examining your life. I believe that exploring our core beliefs, relationships, and inner drives can lead to deeper connections to life and to others. I believe you have strengths you haven’t yet recognized in yourself; I believe in your ability to feel grounded, more connected, at ease and whole.

I see a diverse group of adults, couples, and relationships in my practice.
Many people in my practice come to therapy to address anxiety, depression, grief, and relational issues. I support people working through major life changes such as career shifts, relationship transition, coming into new identities, or mourning loss. In moments of great change, we have the opportunity to deepen our understanding of ourselves. Therapy offers us the space to be held while we do the hard work that leads to growth and transformation.

I work with clients who are struggling with a variety of difficult life experiences and who are interested in feeling more comfortable, aware, and aligned in their bodies and in the world. I support adults, adolescents, and couples as they move through major life transitions and encounter feelings of shame, grief, anxiety, fear, depression, and low self-esteem. Together, we follow what feels significant, shine a light on well-worn patterns, and gently experiment with new ways of relating to self and others.

Additionally, I endeavor to promote a safe and affirming environment for LGBT youth and adults, and those questioning their sexuality or gender identity.
I believe that, at the unconscious level, each of us has a deep understanding of what our unique purpose is (i.e. a true sense of Self). However, through conditioning, life circumstances, cultural/societal expectations, and many other variables, there has grown a great disconnect between the way we are and who we truly want to be. In a safe, supportive and collaborative environment, I will help you navigate through this process of deeper self-understanding and reconnection in order to live a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

I have extensive experience with teens, adults, and couples as a result of working in private practice and other mental health agencies.
I believe therapy to be a safe place where someone who is in need of help can be heard free of judgment. One of the main keys of therapy is working together on eliminating behaviors and belief patterns that do not help you grow as a person. By using various approaches that are tailored to your needs, therapy will assist in the development of tools and skills, which will help support personal growth.

I hold specialized expertise working with transfeminine youth ages 9-12 and TGNB teens and adults.
Having a transgender or gender nonbinary child is a wonderful gift, but it comes with a unique journey for both child and parent. Support is not only essential, but a gem of the journey! Possibly your child has expressed feeling that they are another gender and you are unsure about what to do next. Maybe your child is already living as their authentic gender, but they are showing signs of insecurity or distress around their body. Or possibly, puberty is approaching, and your child’s doctor has recommended therapy as they prepare for puberty suppression. I seek to provide guidance and support through stretches such as these.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience who specializes in helping families cope with divorce. I also treat trauma victims from the perspective of helping them put the trauma within the narrative of their life, and understanding its' impact. It's important to understand the blueprint that is laid down early in our lives, and how we continue to operate consciously and unconsciously off that blueprint. Cultural differences on many levels are very important to understand and address in therapy. I work with children as well as adults.
