Therapy for Children and Teens
I specialize in psychotherapy for children of all ages, and my experience working with children and families spans twelve years. My nurturing and accepting presence and kind regard combine with a deep respect for children and understanding of developmental theory. Play therapy and expressive arts methods meld with psychodynamic and attachment theories to address multiple issues relating to anxiety, depression, trauma, struggles with peers and school, divorce, adoption, learning differences, and self-esteem. Through this therapeutic process, children and teens become better able to name, explore, and express their feelings, process and release trauma, regulate their emotions, gain a sense of belonging, identity, and
self-acceptance, increase their self-esteem, and learn tools to help them manage the stresses of their worlds.

Therapy for Individuals
Remote sessions available!
My training, intuition, and empathic understanding help adult clients to feel heard and supported. Often it is is the case that emotional strife and psychological struggle stems from one's inner child or wounded child. I create safety and make space for your inner child to be voiced, as well as help guide you through the modern-day stresses of family life, work, and the outside world. Traditional talk therapy and psychodynamic and relational theory are combined with exploring the unconscious realm through expressive arts, sandtray methods, guided meditation, and mindfulness techniques. This combination of right and left brain methods helps to bring insight, as well as process and release your experiences while helping to create a greater overall sense of balance. According to your individualized needs, we co-create a treatment plan that honors your strengths, while emphasizing growth and change.
