About
Let's be honest, it's been a tough year (or two!) and our kiddos have been through some stuff. Have you noticed your child feeling more anxious and worried? Are they having issues in relationships at school? Isolating themselves for just feeling down in general? I help children, teens and young adults become more self-confident, more able to manage big emotions, and be more effective in their relationships. I collaborate with parents to develop a clear path to healing for your child and provide regular, check-ins with parents. Therapy will be fun and your child will be on their way to feeling like their favorite self again.
I have 15 years of experience providing therapy to children, teens, and adults. I help with depression, anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, ADHD, and life transitions. I use play therapy with younger kiddos and I find the sweet spot of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and CBT to help your child.
The past two years have been especially difficult for our children's mental health. Our kiddos are facing constant change and having to adapt to new and sometimes scary situations. I provide a safe and fun place that is focused on them. Please reach out and let's meet to talk about how I can help your child heal and grow this year.
