I serve Co-Occurring populations-those with mental health and substance use issues/Families with children with behavioral health challenges, LGBTQ populations, gender identity issues, sexuality, polyamory/non-traditional relationships.
I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.

When seeing children/teens, I often incorporate play and creative expression.
Mental health struggles can make it challenging for anyone to enjoy their life fully. It is my passion to support others in finding healing in whatever way that feels right and useful for them. I believe in creating a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for therapy, in which each client can show up as they are. I have extensive training and experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and I also have a lot of experience (clinical and personal) working with neurodiverse individuals, particularly with ADHD.

You don't have to wait until you are struggling to reach out! You might be expecting a new baby, have questions about child development, want to feel more connected to your child, have behavioral concerns, or want to parent differently than you were parented.
Many families come to therapy feeling like they have tried everything & are at a loss with how to help their child regulate their emotions & behaviors. I collaborate with caregivers to understand & manage their infant/toddler/young child's behaviors through developmental & relational frameworks which create positive change in family dynamics. I work with children (0-8 yrs) & their caregivers to promote secure attachment, bonding, and mutual enjoyment. I also work with individual adults, most of whom are struggling with perinatal mental health, stress, anxiety, emotion regulation, parenting, ADHD, & interpersonal trauma.

For children I offer play therapy as a way to help your child process what they may have difficulty verbalizing as well as providing parent support.
I work therapeutically with a wide range of ages starting at age 4 up through adults. I have experience working with children and adolescents in variety of settings including in schools, in crisis and hospital settings, and in outpatient services. With adults I provide a welcoming and nonjudgmental space to explore together your story and examine what themes emerge. I work with a wide range of issues, often seeking to look underneath the surface to help work with the underlying psychological pain that may be causing a disruption such as anxiety, depression, unwanted behaviors, or relational conflict.

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with makes the work of therapy easier and more productive. I try to help recognize and name the solutions which thankfully have helped us deal with the troubling events we have made it through. But those solutions- such as avoidance, doing too much for others and too little for ourselves, or over-focusing on work- can become entrenched and now get in the way of feeling at ease or fulfilled. Learning and trying new solutions helps us step away from these patterns. Let's see if we can accomplish something together.
