My Practice

A forest path

My practice centers on helping clients develop fulfilling relationships and authentic self-expression. For younger clients, I balance confidentiality with appropriate family involvement, creating partnerships that support lasting positive change. I readily collaborate with other professionals when needed and I provide tailored resources to ensure comprehensive support for each client.

About Me

With over three decades of experience and master's-level training in education and clinical psychology, I create spaces where authentic growth can flourish. As both an educator and mental health specialist, I bring deep expertise in attachment theory and human development, weaving together evidence-based practices with intuitive, compassionate guidance.

My approach honors the uniqueness of each person's journey while strengthening the capacity for healthier relationships through clear, gentle, and genuine connection. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I welcome the privilege of walking alongside you on your path toward healing and growth.
