Feeling overwhelmed, out of control, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or unsure how to navigate through youth or family emotional, behavioral, or health challenges? I’m glad you landed here! You don’t need to move through this on your own. I work with children, teens, young adults, and parents to better understand what’s happening beneath the surface in order to create meaningful, sustainable change.
With over 2 decades of experience as a licensed psychologist, my approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based, wholistic care. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT and mind-body integrative approaches to help you build effective tools into your daily life and tap into your internal strengths. For OCD, I use Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I am a trauma-focused provider, using approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT). I also support youth and young adults navigating medical & health-related challenges through an integrated understanding of mental and physical wellness.
I support clients across a range of concerns, helping individuals and families feel more regulated, connected, and empowered. This includes anxiety, stress, mood concerns, health-related anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms, and medical challenges, with a focus on reducing distress, improving functioning, and understanding the mind-body connection.
Another area of my expertise is neurodivergence (e.g., ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Differences). I help individuals and families understand strengths, navigate challenges, and build effective strategies. I also provide parenting support, helping parents navigate emotional & behavioral challenges, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident. I help with trauma & emotional regulation by supporting you in processing past experiences and building skills to manage intense thoughts & emotions.
I primarily work with children (8+), adolescents, young adults, and parents navigating complex developmental, emotional, or behavioral needs, including anxiety, OCD, trauma, neurodivergence, depression, and mental and medical health complexities.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and strive to provide an inclusive, affirming space for individuals of all identities, including LGBTQ+ clients and those shaped by cultural, racial, or systemic factors.
As both a clinical psychologist and a parent/partner/sibling/daughter, I understand how complex and demanding life can feel. I strive to create a space that is affirming, inclusive, compassionate, and psychologically safe. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and take thoughtful, achievable steps toward lasting growth.
