Are your child's behaviors or school challenges leaving you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and worried? Do you want to reduce conflict in your home and build a closer relationship? As an experienced therapist for preteens, adolescents, and teens, I’ve witnessed the power of cognitive behaviorally informed, strength-based therapy. I can partner with you to take on anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I also support families who've experienced trauma. Together, we can reframe and move through challenges, work to improve your relationship, and empower your child to get unstuck.
Kids want to feel happy and successful. But they may struggle with an internalized idea that they are “bad,” too different, or not capable. We can partner to challenge negative self-perceptions, try helpful skills for emotional regulation, and increase confidence. I also offer Dr. Eli Lebowitz's SPACE model for parents, to address child anxiety.
As a parent myself, I understand that you want what’s best for your child. Sometimes, we need help to get our kids moving in a healthier direction—and that’s okay. I specialize in helping tweens, adolescents, and teens discover their true potential. Because you are an integral part of their journey, I also specialize in supporting you, the parent.

For adolescents, I will begin by asking what brought you to therapy, and what you have already tried to deal with the issue. We will explore what may be getting in the way, and collaborate to try new strategies. I regularly meet with parents to help them trouble-shoot how to support their children, and we will sometimes meet as a group to help with family communication. I also use the SPACE model.

I use a strengths-based approach in my practice which means we'll explore what is already going well in your life, and how to build on that. We will also talk about the relationships within your family and any goals you have for shifting your communication or behavior. We'll examine your thought patterns and internal narratives, and challenge old ideas that may no longer be serving you.
