Deciding to seek and accept help and support for you, your child, and/or your family is a courageous step toward self-discovery, healing, and growth. I work collaboratively with individuals and families to assist them in understanding, expressing, and processing their difficulties. Receiving compassionate, non-judgmental, and empathetic care during some of the darkest and most painful moments of our lives is an invaluable experience on our path to healing. You do not have to confront your struggles alone. I am here to remind you that you and your thoughts, feelings, and experiences matter.
I specialize in child and adolescent psychology, complex trauma, and play therapy services. I received advanced training and credentialing in these areas. I also provide psychotherapy for individuals of all ages and backgrounds with a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns.
It is important that you find a clinician who is the right fit for you, your child, and/or your family. Reach out for a brief phone consultation to see if I am a good fit for you and if you would like me to guide you in your healing journey.
