I enjoy working with a variety of ages and see clients aged four through young adulthood. When working with children, I also partner with the child’s family to provide well-rounded and effective care. Not only does this partnership allow me to benefit from parents’ observations, it allows parents to understand and support the treatment plan. As a provider I specialize in treating individuals challenged by OCD, anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and depression. I also provide parent coaching for parents of both younger children and older teens to help increase parents’ understanding of their child’s experience.

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.

Sometimes feelings and behaviors become obstacles to accessing your strength. If you don't accept yourself as you are, you can't change--a paradox, but true. Self-acceptance can be difficult, especially with history of abuse, trauma, or opression in which shame/guilt become integral to your sense of self. Destructive behavior, in whatever form, has its own logic, but is understandable given your history. We cope in ways that serve to protect ourselves in childhood--serving a useful purpose back then. But now, they prevent you from having stable, close relationships and feeling an empowered sense of self.

In addition to my social work background, I am also a Registered Nurse and truly believe in a holistic mind/body approach to wellness.
