I have particular expertise in serving children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I am also interested in serving parents who are struggling with emotional difficulties that occur in the context of parenting. I also see adults experiencing difficulty with depression and anxiety. Prior to opening my practice, I had a 25-year research career studying depression, family processes, and developing cognitive-behavioral, and family interventions for depression and parenting difficulties. I have opened a practice to apply my skills and expertise in a clinical setting.

Mental and behavioral health are as important as physical health, especially for children and teens. More than ever our children need resiliency and good, adaptive coping strategies as well as access to prompt, high-quality treatment for common conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. To increase access to services, I will now offer cognitive-behavioral therapy groups for children with depression and anxiety and parent groups for families impacted by ADHD. Groups size will be kept small. The CBT treatment will follow an established approach for 10 weeks (in person).

I enjoy working with adults with their individual needs as well. Children and adults who have experienced trauma and attachment wounds and are ready to learn how to heal and become empowered are my favorite people to work with. I am also interested in working with individuals who are exploring gender identity.

I have experience providing emotional support and guidance for children, teens, adolescents, and families navigating educational settings as a school counselor and parent educator.
I work with preteens, teens, adolescents, and parents to navigate the challenging transition of childhood to early adulthood. I believe in the importance of relationship. We aren't ourselves when we feel uncomfortable, so my work centers on establishing a working relationship that fosters connection, collaboration, and mutual understanding. I believe that “you are the expert on you” and work to understand my client’s personal values and life perspective. Once I have a sense of who you are, we will begin to identify behavior patterns and increase awareness to focus on making meaningful changes that are right for you.

In my work as a therapist I find satisfaction in helping individuals find peace. Our world may have reasons to feel unsettled. However, there are also many reasons for hope. I find it very rewarding to witness family relationship growth, such as when a parent and child connect. My goal is to be a resource for those suffering from life stressors, normalized grief processes, and loss. Therefore I encourage conversations about areas of strength, successes that are often overlooked, and relational healing that can take place. I often incorporate a solution-oriented approach in working with children, teens, parents, and couples.
