  • When it comes to my approach, I believe in meeting you where you are at. Through evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I aim to meet the unique needs of individuals seeking support. With a deep understanding of the complexities of your individual journey, I customize the therapeutic experience to fit your unique circumstances. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where growth and healing can take place, and where you can develop the skills needed to lead a fulfilling life and incorporate your authentic self.

  • When it comes to child custody evaluations, my approach is rooted in best interest of the children, followed by the overall emotional wellbeing of the family unit. I recognize the complexity of families involved in the family court system and strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can express their thoughts, experiences, and concerns openly. Through intense and comprehensive interviews with the parents, children, service providers, and professionals involved with the family, I strive to build a foundational picture of the family system, including past and current issues, dysfunction, maladjustments, safety, cohesion, and any other specified areas of concern. With this groundwork, I develop a detailed recommendation that cultivates stability and emotional wellbeing for the children as well as a functional and sustainable plan for the family’s future. An organized, detailed report of my findings and recommendations will be submitted for the court’s review.

  • When it comes to navigating coparenting during and after divorce, I believe that collaborative and cooperative co-parenting is crucial for the well-being of children. Through coparenting therapy, I assist parents in developing effective communication strategies, resolving conflicts, and fostering a nurturing and cooperative co-parenting relationship.

  • Reunification therapy is a specialized form of therapeutic intervention designed to facilitate the mending of relationship between estranged or strained family members, particularly parents and their children. I guide families through the process of rebuilding trust, communication, and connection that may have been strained or disrupted due to various circumstances such as divorce, separation, or other relational challenges. Utilizing a collaborative and structured approach, I work towards rebuilding and strengthen their bonds. The goal of reunification therapy is to create a healthier family dynamic and support the individuals involved in rebuilding and maintaining meaningful relationships.
