Great to meet you!

I have a strong track record of working with parents, building relationships and connecting with youth who are reluctant or nervous about therapy. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters in Education and Childhood Development. I've worked as a therapist in Jr. High and High School settings and currently work in private clinic to heal family relationships. I give you the tools to be kinder to yourself and step back into your life refreshed and empowered.

My approach to therapy

In sessions we look at how you can change your situation or how your situation is changing you. I help individuals let go of unhealthy habits. I help couples and parents readjust their perspectives and priorities and find the joy in their relationships. I offer practical tools and skills to help you deal with anxiety, mood issues and life transitions.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet face-to-face. I will conduct a comprehensive intake, which will take into account your personal history, present-day concerns, and your needs during the therapeutic process. If you have specific goals for therapy, you can talk about those, too. Together, we will address any questions you have regarding therapy, and identify a plan to move forward with. If you agree to continue working together, therapy will begin during the following session.
