Having a child with a neurodivergence can feel very lonely and add additional stress to parenthood.
During our lifetime, we humans go through many life transitions. Helping women, children, and teens succeed through life's many demands is my focus and passion. Working with women who are experiencing a life transition is one of my primary strengths. The second area of focus within my practice is working with parents and individuals who are neurodivergent or who have a child who is neurodivergent. Being a parent of a neurodivergent child myself I enjoy connecting and helping parents and individuals as they navigate this oftentimes difficult journey.

I work with children (ages 4-12), adolescents, families, and adults. My goal is to offer a safe space to those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, low self-esteem, family conflict, or attachment issues. While I like to draw from multiple approaches, including: attachment work, play therapy, mindfulness practices, art therapy, CBT, and family therapy. I ultimately tailor my approach to the needs of the person. Coming to therapy takes a significant step of bravery and I strive to create an environment that promotes acceptance and growth.

I would love to work with you as you work toward better understanding yourself and/or your child.
Watching your child struggle behaviorally, emotionally, or academically, can be a very scary thing for a parent. You may feel lost and insecure, or you may feel like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Additionally, you may have struggled as a kid yourself but have never been able to pinpoint why. I believe through evaluation, one can better understand who they are, how to build on existing strengths, and how to target areas for growth.
