Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist specializing in children, teens and young adults. I use art and play to help young people express themselves. I join clients in their interests and natural strengths, while also sharing new skills and helpful tools. I will sit with you in the middle of your messy feelings and see where we can find a little space to breathe and connect to desired emotions. I specialize in family conflict/separation, attachment issues, trauma, anxiety, mood dysregulation and aggression.

My approach to therapy

I believe the work of therapy should feel homey - in a cozy space, in the home of your physical body, and in the home of a safe relationship.

What you can expect from me

There's no wrong way to reach out and you don't need to know exactly what you're seeking, yet. I am here to help whether that's just a conversation, an initial session or collaborating on a treatment plan.
