You don’t need to struggle with your child’s anxiety or behavior issues on your own. As a Psychologist, I use talk and play therapies designed specifically for your child and your unique family situation. Early treatment can provide benefits that last a lifetime and I aim for children to feel understood and heard while helping parents to gain insight and tangible strategies that can impact the dynamic of the entire family. With compassion, knowledge and energy, I offer hope, support, and solutions that result in progress and change.

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.

After working within the Child Study team for four years and as a mental health therapist within an inpatient program for five years, I found mindfulness, CBT, DBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy are effective ways to help patients gain self-awareness and empowerment to overcome the obstacles that hold them back from their goals.
If you are feeling confused, unmotivated, distracted, or have difficulty staying on task, this can be a sign that you are experiencing a disruption and conflict within yourself that is preventing you from achieving desired goals or enjoying your current life. While we travel this path we call life, sometimes we encounter obstacles that seem like we just can’t overcome. We all have goals in life and we desire the best things for ourselves but sometimes we don't always take the right course of action for ourselves. Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors reflect a hidden belief system within ourselves which decides our path in life.
