Holding onto hope while on the journey to healing is part of my role as your therapist. I use a developmental approach to help clients gain an understanding of their past in order to make choices about their future. Whether you are seeking therapy to heal past wounds or address current issues, my approach is a collaborative one, building upon your personal strengths and resilience. I provide individual, family, parent-child, and/or couples therapy to address a variety of mental health symptoms, behavioral disorders, and relationship problems.

My approach addresses trauma, relationship ruptures, and finding the strengths that developed as a result of the journey to guide clients in achieving their goals. I specialize in working with young children (birth-age 5) and their caregivers as well as with adults of all ages.
