Counseling Services

We'll start with a 90-minute intake, where you'll have a chance to share your current concerns, the history that led you to here, the goals you'd like to meet, and more. We'll take those goals into our plans for ongoing (50-minute) sessions thereafter, including how frequently we agree is best to meet. As always, you're in the driver's seat.

Children, Teens, & Families

As parents, we want our children to be happy, thriving, and living up to their potential. We are often the first to notice when they’re not acting like their usual selves, or, notice when a problem is no longer manageable or sustainable at home. I love to work with children because setting them up with skills for success is one of the most important jobs we can provide, and I’m grateful to be your partner in that process. I treat children ages 5 to 17+ in a variety of areas – from addressing family conflict to treating significant behavioral health diagnoses. See my About page for a list of common treatment areas. The most important part of a child’s therapy experience is feeling heard and finding connection, so that’s where we start the process! With sixteen years experience, I’m certain that each child thrives within a different therapy approach – one that works for their personality and interests. So while I have my favorite techniques (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)), we’ll pick the approach and the pace best fit to your child.

As the parent, you’ll be involved throughout the whole process and welcomed to participate in sessions as needed. Some goals may even directly call for family sessions. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, keeping up family communication is a priority. Some clients request family goals specifically, and in these instances, most sessions will be inclusive of all family members.

More questions for me? Reach out, and we’ll set up a free call.

Adult Counseling

Whether you’re going through something big or small, temporary or long-term, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help support you with a collaborative style to building skills, processing experiences, and problem solving. I’ve worked with men and women ages 18 to 80+ across all areas, most often for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, fertility challenges, parenthood support, grief, and anger. Sometimes the only thing in your way of progress is just getting started, and with the busyness of life, I know it can be hard to prioritize yourself. Let’s talk about how I can help.

Both in-person and virtual appointments are available.

See my About page for more Q&A on my experience and treatment style.

Gifted & 2E Counseling

I love my job, and working with gifted individuals is one of my favorite parts and specialties. If you’re reading this, then you know: These kids are so inspiring to watch and also surely tricky to parent! They are often quite curious, analytical, emotional, persuasive, determined, and eerily smarter than you already (at least in their interest areas)! And speaking of intellect, while their intellectual abilities typically exceed their age, we often recognize when their social-emotional skills lag behind. This “asynchrony” in development is very common and is often an underlying reason to seek support from therapy.

As a parent of two highly and profoundly gifted kids myself, I approach treatment from my professional training lens (where I've spent countless hours diving into this world) while also recognizing families’ experiences on a personal level. I understand that the beauty of gifted kids can come with struggles to fit into our school systems, find similar peers, and manage their emotional and sensory experiences.

Neurodivergence or 2E? Being gifted is under the umbrella of neurodivergence. Statistically speaking, these children are two standard deviations apart from their average peer (in IQ, 98th+ percentile), so naturally their brains are wired differently, and they take in the world around them in a unique way. Many gifted individuals also have other diagnoses (from learning disorders to ADHD), which are considered neurodivergencies as well. Being gifted and having a separate diagnosis is considered “twice exceptional” and a welcomed fit to my office.
