I use the research proven methods of Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, Child-Centered Play Therapy for children, and CPRT with parents.
Life is stressful often in ways we do not expect. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected is common and can negatively impact our well-being and relationships. Sometimes we get stuck in unhealthy cycles of interaction or ways of coping. Other times, life transitions or changes seem daunting. Or maybe you are just longing to feel connected and be known. Whatever you are going through, know you're not alone and there is hope! People may get hurt through relationships, but they also can heal through them. We are meant for connection, change, and growth.

I specialize in compassionate, tailored support for parents and children.
I work with families who could describe their child as: challenging, explosive, difficult, neurodiverse, gifted, different, struggling in school, or having experienced trauma. If this describes your child, I know parenting may feel especially isolating and overwhelming. If you have gone through many professionals who have thrown their hands up already or maybe the people you share your concerns with keep telling you that your kid will “grow out of it,” I’m glad you’re still searching for answers. You know your kid and you’re doing the right thing by finding ways to support their needs.

My near death experience as a child provided.
My psychology and counseling practice is the expansion of identities through awareness and compassion not just solving problems. Your journey has been one with twists and turns and taking the first step to contact me may feel uncertain. Given life can feel like a maze, I make our initial contact straightforward as possible. For 25 years I’ve helped people clear the way to the freedom of their true nature in psychotherapy as well as hypnotherapy. I’ve worked as a crisis worker in ERs, to chief auditor for mental health services in Silicon Valley, to developing a successful counseling training center focused on mindfulness

I believe that play and self-expression through the arts are essential ways in which anyone, but especially children, make sense of themselves and the world around them.
My ideal clients are children and families seeking support around behavior and communication concerns. They may be struggling with dysfunctional dynamics that have long persisted, or they may be facing new challenges brought on by recent change or loss. They desire to work collaboratively within a systems model to investigate the “whys” behind their distress, in order to get to the “how” when it comes to managing the way they respond to adversity individually and collectively. Ultimately my clients have the goal of becoming more capable and confident members of their family and society.

These provide the knowledge, tools, and assurance you need to support your child effectively.
Child Anxiety, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can show up in big ways and leave families spiraling. Being parents ourselves we get we can’t always prevent our kids from struggling, but we can give them the skills to thrive in the face of life's challenges. With skill building through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), we empower kids and parents to build a robust toolbox of science-backed strategies to conquer fears and reclaim their lives from Child Anxiety and OCD.

I have had the opportunity to work primarily with children, teens, college students, and women through the struggles of life, while also navigating difficult feelings rooted in childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and difficult relationships.
Do you ever feel stuck and confused in trying to understand why you or your child behave a certain way? Childhood trauma, difficult life experiences, relationships, thoughts, and feelings can impact an individual so deeply and can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, and doubt. Everyone has their own unique story to tell and I am here to provide a safe space where children, teens, and individuals can process this unique story and walk into a space where understanding meets transformation. In this, my goal as a counselor is to help build healthy connections that foster well-being, change, and growth!

I have worked with children & families for more than two decades as a social worker, early childhood educator and caregiver.
When it is a hard time to be a human, it is exponentially more difficult to be a caregiver. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. Reaching out for support can bring more ease and joy to your relationship with your child (or children). You might be interested in making sense of challenging or confusing behaviors; discipline & confident limit setting; understanding & responding to your child’s crying or tantrums; supporting play, independence & learning; clarifying your values & developing a caregiving approach; setting up a supportive environment; working with your own triggers, and/or carving out time for self care.

Life is full of transitions and can tug at our strings in search for identity and times of uncertainty that can increase anxiety, depression, and trigger previous trauma, that can get you feeling 'stuck'. Becoming unstuck, kicking that pebble can set the ground towards healing and wellness. Children can feel changes yet do not have the words to express how they feel. Put this together, it can become a cesspool of emotions for both the parent(s) and child with the need for solutions and relief. I work with both children and adults, parenting skills and attachment for the divorced families.

I provide psychological and neuropsychological assessments for children, teens, and adults. I value working collaboratively with individuals and families to help identify specific concerns. I do this by looking at the whole individual including their biological/genetic development and what environmental factors may be contributing to current mental health symptoms. I provide a strength-based and non-judgmental space where we can figure out how the pieces fit together, what the whole picture means, and where to go next. I believe that psychological evaluations can lead to greater self-awareness and be a foundational steppingstone.
