Therapy is both an art and a science. There is research, theory, and clinical knowledge that guide the work, but there is also something deeply human that happens in the room—the process of getting to know another person and understanding what they need from the relationship.

I believe meaningful therapy begins there. It takes time, curiosity, and a willingness to look beneath what is immediately visible. Together, we make sense of the patterns that have developed, consider what may be driving them, and find approaches that feel thoughtful and realistic for the person or family sitting in front of me.

My areas of focus include:

• Children, adolescents & teens — anxiety, ADHD, autism, learning differences, emotional regulation, and self-esteem

• Parent support — power struggles, boundaries, challenging behaviors, transitions, and the everyday demands of parenting

• Neurodiversity & learning differences — building self-understanding and working with individual strengths and needs

• Adults — anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, and greater self-understanding

• Parent-child relationships — understanding what may be beneath behavior and strengthening the relationship

• Family dynamics — exploring patterns within the family and creating more understanding and steadiness at home

With children and families, I look beyond “How do we change this behavior?” to ask, “What might this be telling us? What is this child needing? What is happening between us?” Together, we work toward a balance of structure and understanding, with room for both boundaries and flexibility.

My goal is to create a space where things that have felt confusing, overwhelming, or stuck can begin to make more sense. From there, we can work toward changes that feel meaningful, practical, and sustainable for you, your child, and your family.
