About

Meet the Therapist

My experience includes working with children (3 and up), adolescents, and parents dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parent-child conflict, coping with divorce, and other life stressors. My goal is to provide an open, non-judgmental, safe, and creative space where clients can feel free to express themselves. I enjoy working with clients to create and work on goals by using a variety of therapeutic modalities and evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, play therapy, mindfulness, sand tray therapy, and art interventions to meet the needs of each individual client.
