Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other mental health concerns? Maybe you're not even sure what it is that's created the changes you're seeing in their mood or behavior, but it's got you worried. Whether the challenges are due to trauma or they have developed over time from the accumulated strain of everyday demands in life, school, or family dynamics, I can help. As your partner in this therapeutic journey, I will help your child/teen learn to not only cope, but thrive. You'll start to see your child/teen experience an increased quality of life from our work together, that can be felt even years after treatment has ended.
I believe that parents are the true experts on their child/teen and the biggest influence in their lives and I honor that relationship. Together we will come up with a plan that best fits your child/teen’s needs and your family's values. You and your child/teen will learn new tools and strategies that empower continued relief, fulfillment, growth and connection.
Parenting and/or family therapy is also offered to help parents better understand how to couple their child or teens specific needs with empirically supported, brain-based and connected parenting strategies.
I know choosing a therapist for your child or teen is a big decision, and it would be my privilege to work with you. Reach out to me and let's talk more about how I can support your child or teen, and your family.

Therapy with me looks like: Therapy is an ongoing and reciprocal relationship that is forged between child and therapist. Children enjoy attending sessions as they get to do their favorite activities while threading through skills and behavioral outcomes.
My favorite kids game: Backgammon, checkers, uno, life, monopoly and mouse trap.
Fun fact: I like nature and I love to cook.
My favorite hobbies: Hiking, biking, reading, spending time with friends and family and creating exotic culinary delights.
