Parenting and family life can feel wonderful and so hard at the same time, and I feel strongly that no one should feel alone in this journey. Whether you are looking for short-term actionable strategies or longer-term support, we can individualize our work together to best fit your needs.
My areas of focus include supporting adolescents and teens, and counseling for working parents, with particular experience supporting working moms. I take a strengths-based approach, meeting each person where they are and tailoring sessions to their needs through supportive conversation, practical strategies, and structured activities when appropriate.
I have worked with children in a variety of settings for over two decades with an emphasis on young children and families. I have extensive experience in behavioral health working with children with ASD and their families. I provided one-on-one treatment for children ages 20 months to 18 years old as well as caregiver coaching and caregiver-child treatment. I was also on the team responsible for writing, training, and implementing new treatment programs focusing on caregiver-mediated treatment. My experience also includes leading groups for youth and adults, individual therapy for adolescents and their caregivers, and school-based counseling.
I live with my husband, two daughters, and pets in the East Bay. While kid activities keep me busy, I love to spend time on the water, traveling, and enjoying the area where we live.
