I use play, art and activity-based approaches to help your child talk and play through their uncomfortable feelings. I love to sit on the floor, draw, build and have fun with children to help them open up to me. For your older children, I use activity-based therapy and talk therapy in session.

Hi there, welcome to my page! My clinical focus areas include: neurodivergence, especially ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, identity exploration, and emotional regulation challenges. I view a strong client-counselor relationship as foundational to all meaningful therapy. I believe that each one of us intrinsically possesses value and is deserving of love, respect, and the opportunity to evolve.

This is a clinical outpatient setting and we help clients address all disorders listed in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, 5th Edition - Text Revision (DSM-5-TR).

I have a client centered philosophy of care. My goal is to help clients understand how their thoughts influence their behaviors. When first meeting, I will provide a comfortable and supportive environment for building rapport and setting treatment goals.
