Tomorrow's leaders are your children today. Being a part of your child's team of advocates is an honor and I take pride in my role. My goal is to create an environment where kids feel accepted and supported, regardless of their gender expression. I know that fostering self-acceptance in this aspect of their identity is fundamental to their overall mental health and well-being.

I am accepting new clients. My clients are adults, children, and families. Adult clients are usually motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. Children often present internalized or externalized behavior problems and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore psycho dynamic issues and collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.

When working with children and teens, I incorporate play and art.
Is therapy worth it? Although my own therapeutic journey began with skepticism and trepidation, I’ve experienced both vulnerability and life altering benefits from sitting in the client’s chair. Prospective clients can expect me to stay with them through hardship and help them uncover their capacity to heal themselves. I believe therapy requires both safety and bravery. It takes bravery to come to a therapy session. I honor my clients’ bravery by holding a safe, empathetic space for them to explore challenges.

I know life is complicated and you would not be seeking therapy if you were not in one of those complicated moments in life, whether it be about a relationship with your spouse, your child or simply with yourself.

I specialize in caregiver-child relationships, working with families who are expecting or parenting young children.
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.

As a child and family therapist I work with tweens, teens and young adults (11-25 yr. old) and caregivers. Adolescence can be fun and also sometimes stressful, confusing, and painful. I work with young people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, emotional dysregulation/distress, relationship challenges, and who may identify as neurodivergent. I also work with parents. As parents, whether our child is or is not willing to get therapeutic support, doing our own work to care effectively can have invaluable impact in our children's lives. I help parents to better understand their child, support regulation, and model effective skills.
