Introduction

Welcome! I truly believe each person is capable of growth, healing and developing the skills they need to live their best possible life, and I'm honored to be a part of the process in discovering them. I love to work with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents and their parents in both learning specific skills in therapy they can apply to their everyday life and recognizing that growth never stops- we all need help and care to face our vulnerabilities and take the risk of changing. This stuff is hard, but you definitely don't have to do it alone. I've been in clinical practice in a variety of settings for over 12 years, and I have special training in treating OCD and body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking or hair pulling, and love for working with intersections between anxiety and parenting skills, trauma, mood disorders and in involving family support to improve functioning. I especially love supporting the caregivers who give so much of themselves to others, and often are most in need of support. But, therapy is all about fit, and I fully support determining if I am the right therapist for you and yours or your child's needs, and am happy to provide a 15 minute consult to determine this. Thanks for taking this step to take care of you.
