As a licensed mental and behavioral health provider on your child’s primary care team, I work closely with your child’s pediatrician to support mental health and well‑being.

I create a welcoming space where children feel safe, supported, and understood, and where families feel included every step of the way. I work with children, adolescents, and families experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, school concerns, adjustment issues, and substance use. I partner closely with caregivers to help children build coping skills, confidence, and emotional resilience that can be used at home, at school, and in everyday life. I use a variety of evidence‑based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution‑focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and person‑centered care. As a U.S. military veteran, I also bring a unique understanding of the experiences and needs of military‑connected children and families.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, reading, shopping, and watching documentaries.
