About
My therapy philosophy is based around a core belief in the beauty and importance of the individual and family. When I work with children and families, I believe I'm in the presence of something sacred. Parents want to be the best they can be, and they are doing miraculous things, every day. I love to hold up a proverbial mirror and let parents and caregivers see what I see: Good Stuff. Problems appear in the best of families.
I have a natural affinity for children and teens. They like me, and I like them. I sit on the floor with them and play, or we hang out on the couch and talk, laugh, and figure things out together. It's collaborative, comfortable and it works. Structure, training and experience underpin my work.
Clinical expertise includes blended and at-risk family dynamics, child development, behavioral challenges, navigating the school system when a child has special needs or has a diagnosis (including testing, 504, IEP, school based interventions, etc.) I have experience with families in crisis. Additional focus on children and teens experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
What sets us apart
I specialize in child and family therapy, addressing behavioral challenges, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I help families navigate blended dynamics, at-risk situations, and special education systems. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, fostering positive change through play, conversation, and evidence-based techniques. I also support families in crisis.
