Just like this child, I know that life can sometimes be scary, but not only for kids, it can also be scary for adults.
Do you feel like life has lately become a roller coaster? You find asking yourself, "when will this stop?" Life is like a journey and sometimes the path gets a little bumpy, but it does not mean that we cannot reach our destination. We might have to slow down at times and reassess our route and possibly take a side road, however, other times we just have to slow down and be there. Trusting can be difficult and at times scary, but it can also be rewarding. As a therapist, I have learned that relationships can be very powerful and can truly help a person heal.

I believe that when a person feels safe, seen, and connected, change can occur. It is an honor to sit with a child or teen in their most vulnerable moments and provide the feeling of “you are seen, you are safe here.” I am trained to help children and teens grow in connection to self, emotional regulation, and adaptive coping skills. I also understand parents' challenges and believe they deserve to feel connected, seen, and heard. I don’t believe there is such a thing as a “perfect parent,” but I also know that we don’t always feel like we know what to do when our child is struggling.

Welcome! My practice provides psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, emerging adults and families. Sometimes events like transitions, trauma, loss, and adjustment to divorce or limited social support trigger difficulties. As a result, conflicts, depression, anxiety, emotional outbursts, academic decline, isolation, addiction or other risky behaviors can emerge. I support clients and families as they overcome these challenges. I believe in the capacity to grow, change, and move towards self-identified goals. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and focuses on the therapy relationship, incorporating meditation/mindfulness practices, self-acceptance, development of coping skills, and repairing relationships.
