Children and teens are more aware of their own internal states and the world around them than ever before, while the family unit takes on more stress. This combination can create anxiety, depression, acting out behaviors, confusion, and educational struggles for many. Through a strength-based perspective I focus on communication, relationships, boundaries, and self-care. I work with youth (and families) to explore their patterns of interactions with others and encourage self-awareness and growth in these areas. Developing a relationship with a child or teen takes time and care, both of which I have done for nearly twenty years.

My therapy style is both strength-based and client-oriented. I'd like to think of myself not as the person who holds all the answers, but as my clients' teammate in a journey together to understand problems and experiment with solutions. From goal setting to implementing changes and measuring progress, I enjoy a healthy balance between proactivity from my clients and facilitation from my professional experiences. In session together, we will attempt to identify relevant issues, understand significant impacts, and cultivate realistic ways to foster success.

My therapy style is centered on meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they navigate their current challenges. I use a holistic mind-body connection within a person-centered framework. I also take a direct approach, gently confronting unhealthy patterns to help clients understand the roles they have played in their own lives. This process empowers clients to recognize their ability to change and fosters personal growth and healing. I firmly belief that everyone is capable of change when ready and I am honored to be part of the process.

Investing your time in therapy is a huge step and a challenging one, especially not knowing what to expect from therapy. My approach to therapy is a person-centered one, where you are the pilot in this journey. I am not the expert here as you are the only expert in your life. My role here is to help guide and support you as you move forward with your journey, like a co-pilot.

I see my role as a guide, active witness, and collaborator in my clients' exploration of themselves. My foundation is in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I like to use DBT's philosophical framework to support my clients in finding a balance between accepting themselves and their lives as they are while working to change or address their unique problems. I bring a sense of both groundedness and levity to my work. I specialize in working with young adults, first-generation Americans, and newcomer immigrants. As a white therapist with loads of privilege, I hold tightly to the values of humility, accountability, and social justice.

Have you ever been told you're "dramatic," "too sensitive," or "too much?" I love working with folks who think and feel deeply. If you grew up with invalidating or abusive caregivers, it might be challenging now to know how to regulate your emotions. But emotional depth and sensitivity is also a great gift. You may be seeking therapy because your emotions are "out of control," your relationships are causing you anxiety, or you want to do a deep dive into your past traumas.
