I’m a therapist who works with children (8+), caregivers, and families navigating trauma, major life transitions, and family conflict. My approach is rooted in a family-systems perspective — I consider how each person and relationship within the family influences the others. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer family reunification supervision on a limited basis, depending on my current caseload. My goal is to provide a safe, steady space where you and your child feel heard, validated, and supported as you move toward healing, stability, and stronger relationships.
I use evidence-based, practical approaches tailored to each child and family’s unique needs. My work integrates Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), child-centered play therapy, behavior modification, parenting strategies, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused counseling for children. I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
If you’re considering support for your self, child or family, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Because family reunification supervision is offered on a limited basis, reaching out early is helpful. You can learn more and request an appointment through my website. Please feel free to also send me a message here on Psychology Today.
