Introduction

I work with children, teens, and adults, drawing on my training as a child, adolescent, and family therapist. Parents often come to me when a child is struggling with anxiety, big feelings, or a change at home, like a new sibling or a move. I also see teens and adults for anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is relational and attachment-informed, using evidence-based tools like CBT and play therapy. My background spans outpatient clinics, crisis centers, and acute hospital units. I approach each session with warmth, curiosity, and empathy. With kids, I use play therapy and work closely with parents so progress carries into everyday life, and I also offer parent guidance. With teens and adults, I help people safely process trauma, manage intense anxiety, and navigate difficult life transitions.
