Mental Health Support

Let’s sort it
out Together

As a clinical psychologist, helping people make sense of their stories is at the heart of what I do. Our life, and the relationships in it, can be messy. I work with children, adolescents and parents to navigate the transitions and moments that feel too hard or too confusing. I offer training, workshops and supervision to mental health professionals, supporting their growth and enhancing their clinical skills.

Therapy that makes room for all of you.

The messy parts, the tender spots, and the parts still figuring it out.

A lot of the work I do comes back to relationships — with partners, parents, kids… and often, the relationship we have with ourselves. Sometimes people come to me during a transitional time. Other times, it’s just a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right. Either way I help you make sense of what is going on.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual therapy for children, teens, and adults — with care, context, and attention to what’s beneath the surface.

Workshops and Speaking Engagements

Speaking and workshops that bring evidence-based insight into the everyday challenges of care and connection.

Parenting Assessments and Support

Assessments and support focused on the parent-child connection, emotional availability, and relational patterns.

Mental Health Assessments

Comprehensive assessments that bring together history, observation, and insight to support next steps.

Consultation and Supervision

Clinical consultation and supervision for therapists seeking professional development in trauma-informed practice.

Peer Resources

These articles and handouts are designed to offer practical insight and structure.

Therapy, learning and resources that meet you where you are.

I take a curious, compassionate, and research-based approach to understand your needs and goals. Whether we’re working together one-on-one, connecting through a workshop, or you’re engaging with one of my courses or articles — everything I offer is designed to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and the dynamics that show up in your life.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about making sense of what’s going on, using evidence-based frameworks, and moving toward clarity and practical change. I offer individual psychotherapy, assessments, professional consultation and supervision, workshops and speaking engagements, and resources to help you sort things out with information and tools you can actually use.

Clear and Practical

I believe that complex things don’t have to be confusing. We can start with something that feels overwhelming, and bit by bit, take it apart, so we can put it back together in a way that makes sense to you. I take the time to understand so you can move forward with clarity, not pressure.
