Reaching out for support for yourself and/or your child(ren) is a brave and often vulnerable first step and I am so glad you're here. I consider it my greatest honor to walk through that vulnerable place with you and offer a space that feels warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and authentic.

I specialize in working with kids (ages 3+), teens, young adults, and parents/guardians and have a unique set of skills and knowledge built through working in schools and community mental health to help my clients work through challenges they face in all areas in their life, whether it's navigating school-related anxiety, adjusting to life changes and stressors, healing from trauma, improving parenting skills, or better understanding strengths and challenges related to ADHD and other diagnoses and neurotypes.

My approach first and foremost is trauma-informed and person-centered - meaning I believe strongly that feelings of safety and trust are the building blocks toward healing at any age. With my younger clients, I most often approach treatment from a play-based model, meeting my clients where they are developmentally and using their first and primary language (play!) to support them in meeting their goals. With older clients, I most often draw from approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), somatic work, solutions-focused therapy, and strengths-based approaches. I also believe strongly in helping my clients (and their caregivers!) understand the why behind my approaches - the evidence, the science behind the brain and nervous system and their influence on emotions and behaviors, and more.

Throughout our work together, my biggest hope is that you and/or your child will feel supported, encouraged, and accepted whole-heartedly so that healing and growth can flourish. I look forward to walking alongside you in that journey!
