“Connection is at the heart of healthy development.”

Services

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of challenges including emotional, behavioral, and relational. These may include difficulties related to school, peer relationships, life transitions, distressing events or family dynamics.

You can read more about what working together is like on this page, but the best way to figure out if I can support is to get in touch. I offer a free consult call for me to share more about my approach and to learn more about what you are seeking. This way, we can collectively make an informed decision about working together.

Working together

At the heart of therapy is relationship. I offer a space that centers connection, creativity, and emotional safety. Using art, play, mindfulness, and relational dialogue, I help individuals make sense of their experiences and reconnect with their inner strengths.

I believe that every person possesses an innate strength that can be revealed through empathy, creativity, and meaningful connection. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic principles, with a focus on empowering clients through strength-based, culturally sensitive interventions. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where my clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they develop the tools to approach life’s challenges with confidence and self-compassion.

Some of the reasons people come to see me include:

  • Emotional regulation and overwhelm

  • High levels of stress or shutdown

  • Anxiety, worry, fear, extreme shyness

  • Trauma and distressing events

  • Withdrawal, irritability, or changes in mood

  • Behavioral challenges at home and/or school

  • Grief, identity, and life transitions

  • Peer challenges and relationship stress

  • ADHD, organization, time management

  • Changes at home such as relocation, divorce, bereavement

  • Parent-child dynamics and attachment concerns

I also support parents through consultation sessions that focus on understanding behavior through a developmental lens and building connection and confidence in their role as caregivers.
