Are you or your child struggling with ADHD, emotional regulation, self-esteem, anxiety, or personal development challenges and feeling overwhelmed? As a Registered Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults overcome emotional and behavioral hurdles. I’ve developed BrainBright Play-Based Cognitive Training, designed to improve attention and social skills in a fun, engaging way. Additionally, I’ve authored academic books and published over 16 articles in scientific journals, ensuring my therapeutic approach is grounded in the latest research and evidence-based strategies.
I use an integrative approach combining diverse therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play-based techniques & art therapy. I help my clients access emotions creatively, promoting deep healing and long-term growth. My personalized approach enhances focus and brain function, improving daily performance and overall quality of life.
With a combination of clinical expertise and academic research, I provide holistic, personalized therapy. My goal is not only to address current challenges but also to foster resilience and self-growth. Whether supporting your child, guiding you on your journey, or empowering you as a parent, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care for lasting success.
