Growing up does not have to be unnecessarily painful or lonely. I help children, adolescents and young adults navigate developmental transitions with creativity and purpose. I also provide parents with education, skills and support to augment treatment. Young people often need guidance to explore their feelings, discover their unique strengths, and find meaning in their lives as they transition into adulthood. Challenges like family conflict, school problems, sexual confusion, depression, identity development, substance abuse, anxiety and stress can be greatly alleviated through the attentive support of a caring, unbiased professional.
In addition to practicing independently, I have worked in educational, residential and outpatient settings. I am familiar with the child protective and juvenile justice systems through previous work experiences. My approach always combines a mix of compassion, curiosity, humor, and engagement on a deep and symbolic level.
Young people often feel challenged, stressed and confused, but a strengths-based, creative, and flexible approach tailored to each youth works wonders. A native of the S.F peninsula, I attended the Nueva and Crystal Springs Uplands Schools and have a special interest in the challenges of gifted, sensitive youths.
