I provide psychological services for children and adolescents, such as neuropsychological evaluations for neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, such as dyslexia) and psychotherapy for trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral difficulties, and more. I utilize Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) to inform a highly individualized and integrated approach tailored to each child's needs that teaches healthy coping skills (i.e., effective communication skills, relaxation techniques) to replace unhealthy coping skills (i.e., shutting down, screaming) helping them feel in control over their behaviors and feelings.

Why am I a therapist? There are many reasons I am in this field. The initial draw was curiosity about people. I find people fascinating, each person has their own story, their own journey, their own struggles, and their own triumphs. I find it to be a humbling experience that a person I am working with in therapy is willing to trust me with the intimate details of the things they are seeking help for. I remain cognizant of the courage it takes to seek therapy, to seek recovery, to work on making changes. The resiliency that people are capable of never ceases to amaze me.

I believe that counseling is a process of self-growth and understanding that can be beneficial for anyone. Life can sometimes be confusing and difficult; I seek to provide support and understanding to clients during these times. I have extensive experience in working with teens and understand that this is a unique phase of life that takes a lot of support. I work with identity development issues, both LGBTQ+ and racial. I work diligently to provide a safe, comfortable, respectful counseling setting where clients focus on goals important to them. I am also trained in EMDR for addressing trauma.

I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of issues with children, adolescents, and adults, which include anxiety/panic, depression, anger, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, sleep disorders, self-harm, grief, chronic pain, trauma, and PTSD. The foundation of my work recognizes that the mind, body and spirit are equally important in healing the person. Because there is a constant interaction between these 3 entities, each has a significant influence on the other. When all 3 entities are addressed, optimal and sustaining changes can be achieved. I enjoy working with all issues when using this approach to help you achieve your goals.

I am more than happy to offer a short in person consultation to give you the opportunity to decide if I am the right fit for your therapeutic needs.
Hope is like a seed planted in a garden. If properly tended the potential for beauty and goodness is vast; if ignored, the seed may grow for a moment only to be choked out by weeds. Hope is also believing that a positive outcome is possible despite the challenges being endured. My approach in therapy is to help reveal hope by providing caring support, clarity, unbiased feedback, new coping skills, new communication skills, and a safe place to sort through the trials you are facing. Initial goals attended to include restoring hope that something will change for the better and earning your trust through being a safe person for you.

My ideal client is curious to explore their stuck-points, challenge their internal narratives, and make meaningful change to work towards their personal goals. I understand this process is not easy or comfortable and I encourage clients to engage in it with self-compassion and non-judgement. I believe the process of change is rooted in curiosity and learning and in celebrating moments where we stumble as opportunities to observe, learn, and grow from our experiences.

I enjoy and work primarily with women of all ages, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
