I support youth, emerging young adults, and families through mental health and relational challenges with an affirming, hopeful approach. I work with clients who are navigating challenges including grief, family transitions, managing overwhelming emotions, and building independent living skills. I strive to create a warm and engaging space for youth to show up as their authentic selves, while incorporating evidence-based practices individualized to their strengths, needs and interests. I often use play, expressive arts, movement, and nature as avenues for self-expression and emotional processing. Family participation in sessions is welcomed. Currently I’m available for telehealth or in person sessions at our oceanside office in Pacifica.
