I hold a certificate in CBT, and often use it in conjunction with other modalities to help children understand how their thoughts, their feelings, and their behaviors are intertwined. Along with clients, we use CBT to strategize and plan new ways of doing things to improve emotional regulation, familial, educational, and peer relationships.

Healthy and secure relationships are the heart of mental wellness. If your child has experienced disruption in any primary relationship and they are in need of support, or if you feel you are having difficulty relating to and bonding with your child, I am here to help.

Parenting is hard. Parenting a child who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional difficulty is especially hard. We can sometimes feel lost, alone, and ill equipped to handle certain situations. My approach to coaching is to educate, support, and find strategies that will work to create strong family bonds and resilience in the face of difficulty.

I am a certified CBT practitioner which I utilize with a range of client issues, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, and relational skills. Working with children and adults this modality helps clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, their feelings, and their behaviors, so they can then work on developing skills to manage big feelings, stressful situations, or even improve their relationships. I using CBT, as with everything I do, I take a trauma informed approach.

AEDP is a therapy that helps you actually feel your way through what's been holding you back — not just talk about it. It works by creating real safety in the therapeutic relationship, then gently moving through difficult emotions rather than around them. It's body-aware, trauma-informed, and focused on building on your existing strengths. For people who have talked about their pain for years but still don't feel better — AEDP is often the missing piece.

Divorce is grief, identity shift, and life upheaval all at once. Therapy focused on divorce gives you space to process the loss, untangle your sense of self from the relationship, and figure out who you are on the other side. Whether you're mid-process or trying to rebuild after, this work meets you where you are — without judgment, without rushing, and without telling you how you should feel about it.

Parent coaching is for the parent who loves their kids deeply but is running on empty — especially when co-parenting with a difficult or high-conflict ex. It's practical and supportive, helping you set boundaries, regulate your own stress, and show up the way you actually want to. Because your kids need you healthy, not just present.
