I have experience working with severe mental health diagnoses, childhood abuse and neglect, foster care, and adoption.
I am a strengths based clinician who feels strongly that with the right support anything is possible. In session, I want to determine where you are, and how I can help you get where you are going. My client focus is children, adolescents, and families. I began my work in the field focused on women's issues, domestic violence, and the road from victim to survivor. For the last 16 years I have worked with adults, youth and families providing individual and family therapy.

As a multi-tasking Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Director, and mother of 5, I understand how the trials and tribulations of everyday life stressors can accumulate and wear one down. My primary goal as a clinician is to provide a safe environment where an individual can process stress, explore interpersonal relationships, and life goals to be re-energized by a life worth living, empowered over self-doubt and be able to reach one's potential.

Starting therapy will help your child manage their condition, reduce distress, and increase their participation in daily activities, all while you learn how to best support these skills at home.
When your child is sick, it can feel like your world, and theirs, stops. Managing their social activities, academic demands, and family routines may become difficult or even impossible. On top of this, navigating the systems that are designed to help can be stressful and overwhelming.

As a pediatric psychologist, I am passionate about providing support for children, adolescents, and their families through this journey.
