Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, the effects of trauma, behavioral issues, poor self-esteem, family conflict, and life changes.

My approach to therapy

I use a person-centered behavioral approach to help clients figure out the underlying causes of their suffering and ways to set up their environment to get their best selves to shine through and get better outcomes.

What you can expect from me
