I specialize in working with children and families, in English and Spanish, by treating a variety of symptoms resulting from trauma, depression, anxiety, defiance, grief, loss, divorce, adjustment, neurodiversity, developmental diversity and more.  I offer realistic parenting strategies to promote overall outcomes for the well-being of the family. 

I also enjoy working with young adults on the cusp of change and understanding. I am encouraged by those ready to explore areas holding them back and to assist in offering empathy and curiosity towards those parts.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children and parents facing a multitude of challenges and disruptions to their family's equilibrium. I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) which is an evidenced-based practice that seeks to increase connection and ease within the parent-child dyad for 2-8 year olds.

I tend to frequently utilize mindfulness strategies to assist children and adults to connect more deeply with their inner sense of calm. Art and play therapy are other frequent modalities that assist children in expressing and processing their inner world. 

 

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.
