It is my belief that by creating a caring, nonjudgmental, authentic, and safe therapeutic relationship, clients can feel empowered to create the life they want to lead. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in various life stages through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered therapy, Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic approaches. I love helping clients to realize they have many of the skills needed to get themselves where they want to go.

I have an extensive background in working with children of all ages and their families. I am passionate about helping children work through trauma, anger, anxiety, school, and familial stressors to express their needs and desires in appropriate ways. I have experience working with children with ADHD, depression, anger management, behavioral challenges, and developmental disorders/delays. I have worked extensively with families struggling to help their child succeed and feel safe in school. I have worked in schools for the last 13 years, both as a counselor and as a teacher, which gives me a unique perspective when working with families and school-age children. This experience tends to be particularly helpful when advocating and collaborating with school teams.

When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my family, and spending time outside skiing, hiking, camping, dog-walking, biking, beach-sitting as much as possible!
