I am ready to expertly guide you to transform and empower yourself as the parent of a child with special needs! Has there been a time when you feel heartbroken because your child has been excluded? Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the never-ending responsibilities your child presents? Are there days when you dread facing the world, that you just don't want to get out of bed?

“We speak not only to tell other people what we think, but to tell ourselves what we think. Speech is part of thought.” — Oliver Sacks. Oliver Sacks understood something that I have come to deeply respect—that connecting with others and talking out loud are meaningful practices that can change lives. At many points in our lives we simply need someone to listen. Be it a longstanding mental illness or a life change that creates mixed up thoughts and feelings, sometimes we simply need an educated ear. I have a unique background, having worked in addictions, inpatient and outpatient counseling, and school social work. I have a considerable amount of experience helping parents better connect with their children, working with schools to reach every student, and helping people understand how social environments can both hold them back and facilitate success. Throughout my career, moreover, I have maintained a sharp focus on the complexities and consequences of trauma. As a clinician practicing in these increasingly uncertain and stressful times, I am committed to partnering with you, and will work with you toward achieving the desired relief and growth that will help you pursue the life you want. I am trained in CBT, aspects of DBT, Parent Behavior Training, psychological first aid, social emotional learning, family systems, psychodynamic theory, feminist theory, and humanistic theory. I take a strengths-based and holistic approach to working with each client, preferring to tailor my treatment style to meet individual needs. With a casual sense of humor and creative nature, I aim to help you feel heard and understood, to empower you to make meaningful change.

Therapy is where real change begins—with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for growth. I believe every person’s story is unique, shaped by past experiences and present challenges. My commitment is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel understood and empowered. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches, I help you explore how past experiences influence your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that shape your life, and develop personalized strategies for meaningful change. My approach is both insight-oriented and skills-based, providing practical tools and techniques to strengthen your confidence and resilience beyond the therapy room. I am passionate about supporting clients through the complexities of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive condition (OCD), trauma, and the ups and downs of relationships and family dynamics. I offer guidance and care during life’s most challenging moments. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but every step you take is a step toward positive change and healing. My ultimate goal is to help you feel whole and empowered, equipped with the skills to navigate life’s inevitable challenges, strengthen relationships, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I provide a warm and safe yet dynamic environment in which clients share their innermost thoughts, heal wounds, gain insight and learn to live with more confidence, humor and joy. As a supervising Licensed Psychologist with 25 years of experience, I am able to quickly attune and put clients at ease. I am genuine, intentional and spontaneous in the room, which lends itself to a truly collaborative and growth-promoting experience. While treatment duration is need based, some positive change can be expected rapidly. My therapeutic approach is broadly psychodynamic yet integrative. I work closely with my clients to understand and transform their concerns within the context of their formative relationships while integrating techniques from diverse models to facilitate growth and healing. In addition to Psychodynamic-Relational Psychotherapy, I have advanced training in Bowenian Family Systems Therapy, Intersubjective and Humanistic Psychotherapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, The Transtheoretical and Harm-Reduction Models of Behavior Change, higher education mental health, play therapy, consulting psychology, and suicide prevention.
