As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and the founder of Growing Young Minds Counseling (GYMC), I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, and parents. With a deep understanding of child development, family dynamics, and mental health, I am committed to helping young minds thrive by fostering emotional resilience, self-confidence, and positive family relationships.
I specialize in child and adolescent therapy, providing support for anxiety, behavioral challenges, and emotional regulation. I also offer parent counseling, support meetings, and consultations to strengthen parent-child relationships. I create a safe space for growth, helping children build resilience while empowering parents with effective strategies.
Parenting can be challenging, especially when your child is struggling. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a supportive space for children to express themselves and build healthy coping skills while guiding parents with strategies to foster connection and growth. Together, we can help your child thrive.
