My Mission

Compassionately Connecting with Children to Create Change

Through my 25 years of experience as a child and family therapist, I have developed valuable skills to compassionately connect to children, foster a caring therapeutic relationship, and develop meaningful treatment plans. My goal is to help you thoroughly understand your child’s behaviors and emotions, work collaboratively to reduce distressing symptoms, and explore how to respond to your child’s needs effectively. My mission is to value, nurture and advocate for your child’s unique needs and provide personalized, supportive, flexible, meaningful services to address your concerns and produce the changes you are seeking to help you, your child, and your family thrive in life. I provide services in person as well as virtual. I look forward to hearing from you!

My Approach

I truly believe that parents are the best expert on their own child, and it is an honor and a privilege to partner with your family. My approach is unique because I work outside traditional generalized therapy services and collaboratively create a customized wrap-around treatment plan with individualized supports to meet your child’s specific needs. I use a warm, direct, engaged, child-centered, strengths-based approach while providing a non-judgmental, welcoming, safe, supportive, and comfortable space to begin the brave work of therapy. I integrate various evidence-based practice modalities (primarily CBT, ERP, ACT) to find the root cause of your child’s struggles and develop proactive and effective solutions to help navigate life’s stressors.
