I specialize in supporting children and their families experiencing trauma or attachment disruptions.
I work primarily with children, adolescents, and their families. However, I additionally work across the age spectrum and throughout the adoption network with adoption-related issues. I see behaviors as communication of unmet needs. As a client-centered therapist, I work to learn where clients have unmet emotional needs, how their family can work to meet those needs, and what barriers there are to that process.

Life often comes with obstacles that are too overwhelming to tackle alone. Whether these may come in the form of traumatic experiences, inner struggles, relationship issues, or life adjustments, it can be difficult to seek extra support as you navigate through them. I work to help individuals navigate their journey through life’s hurdles by helping them identify strengths within themselves and their relationships, and to find meaning in their challenges. I primarily work with older children and adults who have experienced childhood trauma, sexual/physical abuse, betrayal/infidelity, and grief/loss.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to address complex life issues, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, adverse life events, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, and substance use.
Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.

Your child wants to make you proud and not be on your last nerve.
Is your child or teen getting on your last nerve? Are they defiant, angry, sad or withdrawn? Changes in the family structure, through a breakup, divorce, or death of a family member, often create confusion and unexpressed feelings in kids. Financial worries, relocating, peer pressure, violence, and other stressors at school and in the neighborhood, can lead to behavioral problems. Your child might have stopped opening up to you because they didn't want to worry you, or fear they'd be in trouble. I understand. I specialize in helping school-age children, teens, and their parents through challenging times.

You're worried about how to help your child.
Is your child having problems in daycare or school? Are they struggling to make friends? Are you at a loss for how to help them and worried about what life will look like as they get older? Are you wanting to parent differently and find better ways to connect with your child? Maybe you're wondering if your child has ADHD or Autism. Or you've noticed they're working hard but not remembering what they've learned. There's a lot of conflicting parenting advice out there, and it's hard to know what to follow. It doesn't feel like your child is responding to the typical strategies.
