About Me

When we view therapy as a journey, it is the client who takes the steps, while I, as the therapist, walk alongside. Guided by this belief, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents as they strive to develop a distinct sense of self and establish meaningful relationships. Understanding and supporting your child or teen in their unique life path can come with its own set of stressors, leaving you unsure of what to do next.

My Approach

I firmly believe that our childhood experiences shape how we connect with others as adults. Trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life stressors can deeply impact how we interpret our early experiences. In therapy, I employ a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, helping clients recognize their own resilience. By focusing on the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, I aim to foster personal growth and overall well-being.

My Specialization

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families, offering support through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). With experience in various therapeutic settings, I've collaborated with diverse mental health systems and treatment teams. My expertise also extends to trauma-specific modalities in grief and loss work, enriching my practice with a holistic perspective on healing.

What to Expect in Sessions

Sessions are safe spaces for open and honest communication, reflection, and growth. My focus is on helping clients develop coping skills, manage conflict, and explore their unique identities. Each session is tailored to meet the needs of the child and family, promoting positive interactions and lasting change.

Educational Background

My therapeutic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science from Hartwick College in New York. After gaining experience in Washington D.C. with students who have social and emotional needs, I pivoted toward therapy. This led me to the University of Denver where I earned a Master of Arts in International Disaster Psychology, cementing my passion for working with adolescents and families.

A Little More About Me

Beyond the therapy room, I'm often found in the mountains or on a lacrosse field. I cherish my time hiking and coaching and am always eager to explore new places and cultures. You'll rarely find me without a book in hand, so I'm open to any recommendations you might have.

With PCIT, I’m committed to supporting you and your child through every step of your therapeutic journey, helping to foster stronger relationships and a brighter future together.
