WELCOME. YOU CAN START HERE.
Maybe your child is struggling. Maybe you’re carrying more than you can keep carrying alone. Or perhaps life looks fine from the outside, but doesn’t quite feel that way.
Therapy offers room to slow down, understand what’s happening, and explore what might help. Together, we can make space for your experience and work toward changes that fit your life.
WHO I WORK WITH
I see children from age 7, teens, adults up to 40, and parents. Your therapy should reflect who you are and where you are.
All therapy servicesA place for kids to make sense of big feelings, build confidence and practice new skills.
A space for teens to be heard, sort through stress and try new ways of coping.
Support for anxiety, depression, life changes and patterns you want to understand.
Help navigating the challenges of parenting, and support for a stronger connection with your child.
Thoughtful care for the emotional changes and challenges that can come with a new baby.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
My approach is collaborative and grounded in the relationship we build. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and attachment-based work, adapting to your needs and goals.
We might look at patterns, practice a new skill, or spend time with something that’s difficult to put into words. There’s room for all of it.
