  • I work with children, teens, adults, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, impulsivity, behavioral concerns, or challenges at home, school, work, or in relationships.

    I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself. My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to each person and what they need. I use CBT- and DBT-informed approaches, along with play-based interventions when working with younger clients, to help build practical skills for managing emotions, communicating effectively, solving problems, and navigating everyday challenges with greater confidence.

    When working with children and teens, I also value collaborating with parents and caregivers and providing practical tools that can help support progress at home.

    Starting therapy can feel like a big step, whether you’re reaching out for yourself or for your child. My goal is to make that process feel comfortable and supportive from the beginning, and to work together toward greater confidence, stronger connections, and meaningful change.
