My philosophy is that clients are able to reclaim alienated parts of themselves, the inner child that has been hurt, when the counseling relationship feels safe, when there is both quiet listening and non-judgmental support, empowering feedback, and an experience of collaboration with the therapist.
Human beings are born with a desire to be seen, witnessed, and engaged in determining their life path. Yet, loneliness, identity struggles, and shame alienate us from our authentic self. My passion is supporting clients as they uncover their real self, their original self before shame and trauma, and find ways that feel authentic for healing and moving forward in life. I am interested in supporting the whole person – emotional, developmental, and life-transitions.

I work with adult individuals and children aged 2-18 and their families/caregivers. I focus on supporting clients to creatively turn their pain into coping skills, missed connections into secure relationships, and problematic behaviors into strengths and resiliency. I focus on practical, real-world strategies that build security and connection through a balance of nurture, engagement, structure, and challenge. These strategies are a resource that can then be utilized through different life experiences, stages, and adversity. I support children and caregivers alike to learn new ways of responding, guiding, and supporting one another.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, family, and married couples with different backgrounds and various issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, anger control, addiction, trauma, marital conflicts, spiritual issues, relational issues, grief, life transitions, trans-generational issues, identity issues, etc.
Sometimes the process of finding a therapist can be a challenge. If you are on this journey, I am here to listen your unique experiences and help you cope with mental health challenges by providing you with a holistic therapeutic experience and by showing empathy to see your world like how you see it. I believe that being accepting, non-judgmental, understanding, and listening are few of the most important skills as a therapist.

The building blocks of your identity are rooted in the relational experiences you had as a child, the world you lived in, the resources available, and the challenges life sent your way. You may have learned that some emotions or needs were not acceptable or tolerable, some needs would need to be met indirectly through adaptations (such as perfectionism, people pleasing, playing small or withdrawing), or that some needs might not be met at all and would need to be abandoned or minimized. My role is to help you make sense of who you are, how you got here, your patterns of relating, and how to create the relationships you long for.

Do you find it hard to focus, act impulsively, or feel overwhelmed by work or school? Are social situations a source of intense nervousness for you? You're not alone if you find yourself in unhelpful patterns, struggling to understand your reactions, or feeling swamped by daily tasks. Life can sometimes spiral into chaos, leaving strained relationships, including marriages, and fostering feelings of hopelessness. If you're observing your child grapple with social anxiety or behavioral issues at school, it's crucial to address these concerns early on. I help adults, adolescents, and children acquire skills to break free from anxiety

I work with children (5+), adolescents (families) and adults. Children often exhibit behaviors such as outbursts, meltdowns or withdrawal that indicate their cry for help. Pre-teens, teens and adults will often exhibit signs of depression and anxiety or even physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other health concerns that are often a sign of their internal struggles. No matter the age I believe all can benefit from mental health services. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use this belief to guide the therapeutic process to meet your unique needs.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in 22030 provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in 22030 build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
