I work with clients to develop deeper insights into thought and behavior patterns and to help them find strategies to improve their relationships. My passion lies in helping individuals manage their mental health and helping couples manage mental health struggles, gender transitions, and polyamory.

Is your child facing challenges with managing big feelings of anxiety? Do they find it difficult to connect with friends or keep up at school?

As a therapist, I'm here to give you and your child tools and strategies to work with life’s obstacles. I specialize in working with ADHD, Autism, anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma. In my work with children and teens, I utilize a blend of play-based techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive arts including art, music and drama, as well as sand play therapy.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself?

I excel at helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards healing, success, and growth.
