About

Starting therapy can feel like a big step — especially when you're trying to make sense of overwhelming thoughts. Maybe things feel too heavy lately, or the world just seems like too much. You're doing your best, but it’s hard — and you're not alone in feeling that way. I specialize in working with children and teens who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and anger — whether that shows up as withdrawal, irritability, outbursts, or feeling overwhelmed. I believe in meeting you where you are and reminding you that healing is possible, even when it feels far away. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Sandtray Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, all within a person-centered framework. This means each session meets the unique needs of the individual, building on their strengths.
