Therapy that meets everyone where they are.

Your child is struggling, and I'm here to help. I work with kids and teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, and social challenges, while partnering with parents who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we move beyond symptom management to building real resilience.

From toddler through the teen years, every family needs the right tools. Let's find yours.

“You don’t feel like a typical therapist.”

This is something my clients often say to me. That’s by design. I’m collaborative, conversational, and educational.

I blend science and story. And I’ll be honest with you, even if it’s not always comfortable. My job isn’t to impress you. It’s to support and equip you and your child.

I use a biopsychosocial lens (the nerdy way of saying “whole-person approach”) to help parents and kids understand how their thoughts, feelings, bodies, and relationships all interact.

We won’t just talk about behavior. We’ll build the tools, scripts, and strategies that lead to lasting change.

My Goal is Simple

To help young people and their families create happier, healthier lives where resilience can take root and flourish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you prescribe medication?

I'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, so I don't prescribe medication. When needed, I collaborate with your physician or can refer you to a psychiatrist to discuss medication options.

‍

What about after school or evening appointments?

I offer after-school and evening hours on certain days. Initial assessments are scheduled during daytime hours, but follow-ups can be scheduled for after school and evenings based on availability. See hours and location.

‍

Do you offer parent coaching?

Yes! Parents get practical coaching throughout our work together—learning what to say, when to step back, and how to support without fixing.

‍

What if my kid doesn't want to come?

That's not unusual. We can start with parents to teach you strategies for navigating the challenges at home. Meeting with parents first often sets a collaborative tone, and I'm pretty good at eventually connecting with skeptical, arms-crossed kids.

‍

How do I know if we need therapy?

If you're Googling at 2am, dreading school mornings, or feeling like your usual parenting isn't working, trust your gut. When struggles interfere with daily life or your relationship with your child, it's worth a conversation.

‍

Who do you work with?

Toddlers, kids, and teens, plus their parents. I especially love working with families navigating ADHD, anxiety, big emotions, and those "why is everything so hard?" seasons.
