I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families addressing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation and relational dynamics in need of improvement.
Feeling connected to and understood provides the foundation for any healthy relationship, including the therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to provide a supportive, trusting and non-judgmental environment in order to foster greater self-awareness, insight and personal growth and fulfillment. One parent of a 13-year old client said: "During one of the darkest and most difficult times in our lives, in you came ready to listen, guide, support, and be a beacon of light in an otherwise dark time. My son immediately felt safe with you and trusted you. That is a true gift and says so much about you both personally and professionally."

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents. While the specific focus of therapy is individualized according to each child’s needs, much of the work I do centers around helping individuals develop self-awareness, healthy relationships, problem solving skills, and the ability to identify, regulate, and express emotions adaptively. I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively.

Over the past thirty years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with diverse mental health issues including depression, anxiety, Post-concussive syndrome, ADHD, learning disabilities, ASD, addiction, grief, and trauma. Recognizing that individuals experience stress in many aspects of their life and struggle with life's transitions, I work with children and adolescents transitioning through the stages of development and with adults facing marital, parenting, custody and relationship issues. I conduct psychological and neuropsychological testing to evaluate for mental health, academic, and neurological issues.

Being a parent is a gift. However, some days we can find ourselves wondering if we are doing our best by our children, our partners and even ourselves. With life's demands - work, household responsibilities, other activities - one can find themselves feeling as if they are stretched thin. Stress that is left unchecked can run the risk of escalating to a severe presentation of anxiety or depression. This can in turn affect the way we parent and resolve family conflict. As a Mother and Wife I bring this relateability to our conversations.

I work with children, teens, adults, and families.
When people think of therapy they tend to imagine a scary place where they have to tap into themselves to open up to strangers. I became a therapist because I wanted to be that safe place for someone to feel comfortable opening up. Everyone has a story. Each person has the right to feel heard, not judged, safe, and understood. My goal is to help them reach that satisfaction in a safe non-judgmental zone.
