Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with gifted and talented children, teens, and adults navigating the unique complexities of a high-potential mind. Often, they come to my practice feeling overwhelmed by the weight of expectations, perfectionism, or intense "big feelings." Parents often reach out seeking guidance on how to raise emotionally healthy, resilient youth in a high-pressure world. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a lack of motivation, I provide a compassionate space to build self-esteem and authentic confidence.

My approach to therapy

With 25 years of experience, I specialize in tailoring treatment to your specific needs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I offer specialized support for stress, parenting issues, and self-esteem. By adjusting our dialogue and goals to your unique life story, I help you turn "potential" into genuine emotional well-being and peace.

What you can expect from me

A safe place for you. You deserve to be seen with respect, sensitivity, and deep compassion.
