Skills to manage their mental health are among the greatest gifts we can offer our children. I specialize in teaching children and adolescents evidence-based strategies to communicate well, think positively, make friends, manage emotions, feel confident, and more. I collaborate with parents, making sure you feel informed and empowered. We will work together to create goals for therapy, to help your child be their best, and to bring more peace into your home. I believe in the resilience that exists within all of us and the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. I would love to work with your family.
I believe we all desire to be seen, known, and understood. I aim to create a space where individuals experience just that, where they feel welcomed and embraced. I primarily incorporate CBT, solution-focused, interpersonal approaches, psychodynamic, family systems, and mindfulness. I practice culturally sensitive practices and am LGBTQIA+ affirming.
Feel free to reach out via email or phone. I would be happy to chat briefly if that feels helpful as you decide who is the best fit your family. I offer daytime and evening scheduling, and can meet in person or virtually.
