I am a licensed psychologist and a mom. My educational and training background include a large emphasis on child and adolescent development and mental health. In my career I have worked with children, parents, and families in a variety of school, hospital, and community-based settings.

However, despite my clinical training and experience, it wasn’t until I became a parent myself that I truly understood the emotional complexity, challenges, and continuous demands of raising kids. There is often tremendous pressure to be a “perfect” parent, when in reality raising kids is often messy, unpredictable, and not at all how we "planned" it to be. It can be confusing and overwhelming trying to navigate all of the conflicting information and advice about what is really best for your kids. In reality, there is very little about parenting that is "right" or "wrong," and instead it is about what works best for your child and your family based on your specific needs, values, and priorities.

I love working with parents and having the opportunity to integrate all of my knowledge, experiences, and clinical skillset to meet people wherever they are at and work to help them feel more content, balanced, and empowered as they navigate their lives.
