For children and adolescents who are struggling, therapy can be a great way for them to learn more about themselves, gain skills, and feel validated and heard. With a personable approach, I create a safe space for vulnerability. For young ones, we play and create. I work individually with the child/youth, as well as with the parents and as a family.

When working with families I encourage direct communication, building understanding and empathy, and quality time together. I carefully help families take out what’s swept under the rug and make the unspeakable speakable. It can be like learning a new dance: it will feel strange at first, but once the moves are practiced, it will become the new normal.

Being a young adult is not easy. It may be a time of many transitions: perhaps new school, new job, new city, new friends, or potentially questioning/ changing identities. It can also come with lots of excitement and much longed for independence. Sometimes it’s hard to navigate these new tasks and roles. Partnering together, I can add support, be a gentle guide and help young adults find their confidence.

Working with individuals, I allow my clients time to vent, explore their patterns and ways of being in the world and help offer new suggestions that may stretch their comfort zone. I use a variety of techniques, such as verbal processing, letter writing, worksheets, and mindfulness practices.

Have you been feeling stuck? Maybe you've been struggling with depression or anxiety for a long time, tried therapy and meds for many years, but are not finding the relief you want. Or you are looking to accelerate your healing and find new insights. Ketamine is an emerging new modality that has remarkable results.

I enjoy mentoring emerging clinicians. I provide individual supervision for those obtaining their clinical hours. I can also provide consultation to workplaces, schools, and clinics on various mental health topics. Please call to learn more and to see if we are a good fit.
