Supervised by Benoit Vincent

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families through an attachment-based, relational, and evidence-informed approach.

I believe our earliest relationships shape how we understand ourselves and connect with others across the lifespan. Healing happens within safe, attuned relationships, and creating that kind of therapeutic space is central to my work.

I support children as they develop emotional regulation, resilience, and self-understanding, and I work with adults to explore attachment patterns, relationships, and experiences that continue to influence their lives. With children, my approach is playful and developmentally responsive; with adults, I offer a collaborative and reflective space for growth and healing.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade as a preschool teacher, which deeply informs my relational, developmentally grounded work with both children and caregivers. My clinical training emphasizes attachment-based and evidence-based practices, with experience in trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, neurodivergence (ASD, ADHD), adoption, identity development, and family transitions such as divorce or separation.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and authenticity to my work, with the goal of helping individuals and families feel supported and create meaningful, lasting change.
