I am a child, adolescent, and family therapist at Mind By Design. I provide services under the supervision of licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Melissa Sorci. I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University, where I completed a specialization in Pediatric Behavioral Healthcare.

Methods & Approach

My work at Mind By Design focuses on supporting children, teens, and families navigating mood, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. In sessions, we explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills for lasting change.

I take a warm, structured, and goal-oriented approach, tailoring care to each client's developmental level and readiness. A big part of my work is helping clients build resilience, increase tolerance for discomfort, and move toward meaningful, values-driven lives.

Collaboration with families is also an important part of the process. Together, we reinforce skills outside of sessions, reduce unhelpful patterns, and support progress in everyday environments. Sessions are designed to feel engaging and developmentally appropriate so children and teens feel comfortable, understood, and motivated.
