Thriving in childhood and your teenage years is a process that involves insight and support. In psychotherapy with children, teens, and parents/caregivers I provide this support, as well as training in evidence-based and informed psychotherapy and play therapy interventions. I work with all children/teens, and also have growing specialization in psychotherapy with girls and young women related to all mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, grief/loss etc.). I support girls in building their sense of connection, well-being, self-worth, identity, and confidence in their lives and relationships.

I bring joy, laughter, and play into the therapy room. I help children and parents develop: insight into their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships; healthy coping strategies; therapeutic goals; name supports and obstacles in front of them and take steps to more healthy functioning. I join with parents/caregivers in this process.
I bring over a decade of experience working with children and families in various settings. I individualize treatment for each child’s specific needs so they can freely express themselves, practice skills, and work through struggles. Clients have described me as knowledgeable, empathetic and fun!
