I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral challenges, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Whether you're seeking support for your child or looking to better understand yourself, I provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where healing and growth can begin. My approach is client-centered and tailored to each person's unique needs, helping clients build practical coping skills, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families as they navigate life's challenges. I bring years of experience working in both school settings and private practice. I integrate play therapy , cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma informed practices to create a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I'll provide a warm, compassionate space where you feel heard and supported. When you're ready, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to reach out today.
