I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families to address a variety of challenges, including behavioral difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, and emotional regulation. I also offer support for children experiencing major life transitions, such as divorce, grief, or changes at school.My approach is compassionate and collaborative, combining evidence-based strategies with a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics. As a trained Positive Discipline Parent Educator, I also work closely with parents to build stronger connections and effective communication.
In our sessions, I provide a safe and supportive space where your child can express themselves freely, feel heard, and develop coping skills that promote self-esteem and resilience. My goal is to empower both you and your child with the tools and confidence needed to create lasting positive change at home and beyond.
If you’re ready to take that first step, or even just want to explore if therapy is the right fit, I’m here to help. Together, we can create a plan that addresses your child’s needs, supports your family’s goals, and helps your child grow into their best self.
