Therapy for Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples, and Families

I offer developmentally informed, psychodynamic therapy for clients across the lifespan. My work integrates relational depth, clinical clarity, and an understanding of how neurodevelopment and early experience shape emotional life. Sessions are available in person in Solvang and via telehealth throughout California.

​

Child Therapy

Children communicate through play, movement, and relationship. I use play therapy, developmental approaches, and psychodynamic understanding to help children:

• Build emotional regulation

• Strengthen communication

• Navigate anxiety, grief, or early loss

• Adjust to family transitions

• Develop resilience and confidence

My work is especially informed by neurodevelopment, attachment, and early relational patterns.

​

Adolescent Therapy

Adolescence is a time of rapid change—internally, socially, and neurologically. I support teens with:

• Anxiety, depression, and mood regulation

• Identity development and self‑esteem

• Autism spectrum and neurodiversity

• School stress, social challenges, and communication

• Family conflict or transitions

• Trauma, early loss, and complex developmental histories

Therapy provides a steady, reflective space where adolescents can understand themselves and grow.

​

Adult Therapy

I help adults explore emotional patterns, relationships, and life transitions with depth and clarity. Common areas of focus include:

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm

• Relationship and communication challenges

• Parenting support

• Trauma, early loss, and attachment wounds

• Career stress or major life changes

• Identity, self‑esteem, and personal growth

My approach blends psychodynamic and object relations theory with practical tools for everyday life.

​

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy offers a structured, supportive space to understand relational patterns and strengthen communication. I work with couples navigating:

• Conflict and communication difficulties

• Parenting differences

• Life transitions

• Attachment injuries

• Neurodiversity within relationships

• Reconnection and repair

The goal is to help partners understand each other more deeply and build a more secure, resilient bond.

​

Family Therapy

Family therapy focuses on improving communication, strengthening relationships, and supporting developmental needs. I help families:

• Navigate transitions (divorce, blending families, relocation)

• Support children and teens with emotional or behavioral challenges

• Understand neurodiversity within the family system

• Heal intergenerational patterns

• Build healthier ways of relating

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each family’s unique dynamics.

• Busy schedules

• Rural or remote locations

• College students

• Parents balancing childcare

• Individuals seeking specialized psychodynamic or autism‑informed care
