With over a decade of experience and specialized training in family and children, I've helped individuals and families improve their communication, strengthen connections, and find balance in their lives.
As a therapist specializing in child, family, and adults, I understand how challenging it can be when a family member is facing emotional or behavioral struggles. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where children can express themselves, and families can learn to navigate these issues together. I also provide dedicated support for parents and adults, including those experiencing maternal mental health challenges, such as prenatal and postpartum anxiety or depression. I support mothers as they transition through pregnancy and postpartum, helping them manage emotional regulation, cope with stress, and build resilience.

I am accepting children-adult clients! Do you think you feel things too deeply? Or that whatever normal is, you are next to it? If so, I can relate! My goal is to create a space where those I work with are not labeling themselves as "the problem," or for them to feel powerless in their big feelings and behavior patterns. Instead of asking why you felt too much or did xyz wrong, we should be asking what you have done right to make it this far. I take a strengths-based approach to therapy. We will explore your experiences and interactions through play, art and story-telling in order to accomplish your goals and celebrate who you are!

Physical and emotional hygiene are equally important. When we are not tending to our mental wellness, like our physical health, this too can result in suffering and misery. Most of us were taught to give all we have for others, and then some. How do we balance caring for ourselves and others? Learning to balance our wants with those of others can be a difficult habit to break out of. With willingness, courage, and help, I believe everyone can learn new skills and understanding to create a life with less chaos and more contentment. “I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.” Mae West - Therapy in a nutshell.
