I have been working with adolescents and young adults for 15 years. I am passionate about connecting teens and their families with resources to ensure they receive holistic care. I believe that even young teenagers can learn important skills that will support them in living healthy adult lives, and I consider the whole family unit as part of the treatment team. I am also passionate about providing clinical services to women (and those who identify as women). I use a strength-based approach to empower women to find their power and their voice to assert themselves at home, in the workplace, and in their relationships.
I specialize in treating school-based behavioral issues, adolescent depression and anxiety, LGBT+ identity, adoptive/blended families, and trauma; and provide parent guidance to caregivers. I also specialize in women's health issues, particularly infertility, miscarriage, and labor/birth trauma. I am a trained doula, which informs my clinical practice.
I meet clients where they are, work to establish a relationship based on trust and mutual respect, and together we create a personalized treatment plan that will build upon their strengths and provide skills that address their individual challenges. I believe each and every person who bravely embraces therapy is capable of living an enjoyable life.
