I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, active listening, and collaboration. I use a variety of theoretical approaches and evidence-based interventions, and I have experience working with mood disorders, attachment disorders, complex mental health needs, and special education in the public school system.

I am here to provide a safe and compassionate space for you. Together, we will work towards understanding your unique experiences, identifying strengths, and navigating challenges. My goal is to empower you on your path to healing and personal growth. Whether you're facing specific issues or simply seeking a space to explore your thoughts and feelings, I am here to support you. I believe in the strength of the therapeutic relationship, and I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey to positive change.
