I am a Limited License Psychologist with substantial experience working with children, adolescents and their families in several outpatient settings.
As a therapist, I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. From that relationship, it becomes possible to examine difficult areas of your life in order to experience growth and security within yourself. The therapeutic setting provides a unique opportunity to pause the busyness of everyday life and sort through present or past concerns that may be affecting you and your family.

I work creatively with children to make therapy engaging, challenging, and most importantly, effective.
Difficult past? Chaotic present? Uncertain future? These are the questions that can plague us with anxiety and slowly take over our lives. You want relief from the constant worrying, or relief for your child who cannot stop worrying. You want freedom from the childhood experiences that, despite your best efforts, continue to impact your current life. You want to understand how to survive as an introvert in a world catering to extroverts. You want to find a way to communicate with a distant partner. You are in the right place and on your way to a better life.

As a parent of bi-racial children I am passionate in helping multi-ethnic and interracial families, as well as those exploring the process towards foster care and adoption.
