Great to meet you!

As a dedicated Child, Adolescent, Adult and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience I specialize in helping clients understand and manage the complexities of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I offer a supportive and empathetic environment that fosters healing, growth, and positive change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in collaboration, compassion, and a strong belief in each person’s innate strengths. I work alongside clients in a non-judgmental, supportive space to help them tap into their own resources, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. I’m passionate about helping people build fulfilling, resilient, and balanced lives. Because connection, purpose, and healthy coping are lifelong needs, I take a developmentally informed approach with everyone I have the privilege to support.

What you can expect from me

I prioritize creating a warm, welcoming, and safe space where we can work together to identify what matters most to you. From our very first session, you can expect me to be respectful, calm, curious, and fully focused on your unique journey. Whether we’re engaging through play, art, or thoughtful conversation, my goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and affirmed for the courage it takes to begin this process. You’ll always be met with genuine care—and I’ll always be glad to see you.
