I am specialized in supporting people cope with anxiety and depression that can occur in life transition, vocational or relationship stress, significant loss, having a new medical diagnosis, etc. We will be looking at ways to help you regulate your emotions and consider changes that fit with challenges presented by life circumstances and relationships. I am passionate about supporting cancer patients and caregivers to cope with anxiety from cancer treatment and establishing a new normal for their life after cancer.

I have experience working with neurodivergent adults who are interested in learning about adaptive skills to your unique traits and finding ways to help their significant others understand them. My practice is informed by my training in to work with neurodivergent children and their families and personal experiences.

Children naturally express their emotions and ideas through the use of selected toys and playful acts. To meet children where they are developmentally, we work with children (aged 4-12) through the use of play-based approaches.

In counseling children, therapeutic play is proven effective in addressing many problems such as anxiety, depression, adverse impacts of significant events, and difficulties in family relationships and friendships.

As family therapists, our providers value parents contribution to their child’s change and growth throughout the course of therapy. Parenting itself is challenging and it can be even more demanding for parents of kids with special social and emotional needs.

Our therapists offer regular parenting support alongside individual therapy with their children. These separate meetings can focus on addressing particular problems, providing therapeutic psychoeducation, changing parenting strategies, and essentially enhancing parent-child relationships.

Trust and emotional connection are essential in healthy romantic relationships in which both partners know how to reach for each other in times of conflict and life challenges. When disconnection is present due to differences, negative relational patterns, betrayal or infidelity, illnesses, and so on, each partner is left with emotional hurt, despairs, loneliness, and uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Couple therapy helps partners find practical ways to restore intimacy and love for one another.

Our therapists will meet with the couple together to help them understand their relationship dynamics and how their marriage gets off track. We also help couples overcome the emotional pain and rebuild the intimate bond, as well as develop skills to manage conflicts and non-working interactional patterns.

Our work with couples is guided by evidence-based couple therapy models such as Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, but not limited to.

It can be sometimes beneficial for the whole family to come together to share their narratives of the problems that bring them to therapy. Our therapists help families navigate the “stuck” relational conversations, clarify roles and boundaries, and identify negative interaction patterns among family members.

Family therapy often aims at creating change and growth in the overall family functioning. Common specific goals can be reducing conflicts, increasing empathy and emotional connection, and creating working relational patterns in the family’s daily life. In this family work, our therapists utilize traditional talk therapy and experiential play-based activities to facilitate family conversations in a way that is developmentally appropriate for all members.
