Immediate openings available. Book now by clicking on my website. Is your child struggling in relationships with others? Are you and your child in an unhealthy environment, or recovering from one? Perhaps your child or teen is transitioning into a new chapter of life and their old ways of coping are no longer working for them. Are they feeling overwhelmed by depression and anxiety? I'm here to support both of you. Through the therapeutic relationship, your child will learn new skills for coping with their emotions, learn new skills for navigating their world, and their relationships with others will flourish.

I have specialized trained in helping children and teens cope with anxiety, depression, and trauma, and the challenges that come with being neurodivergent.

I know feeling hopeless about your circumstances can be a really awful feeling. You don't have to feel that way any longer. Please reach out and I'd be happy to talk with you about the services and support I can offer.

I support individuals with anxiety, depression, stress, and traumamatic stress. Typical treatment includes identifying needs and feelings of being stuck, learning new skills to overcome these challenges, and processing any thoughts/ emotions that have caused continued distress. This involves 1. Me teaching skills to try 2. You identifying memories/ thoughts that contribute to the problem.

I practice from a framework of client-centered therapy. You hold the answers about what you need and my job is to help guide you to those solutions you hold inside you. When supporting clients in taking steps to change their lives, I use CBT and DBT to encourage the use of new skills. The first few sessions are used to build a relationship and better understand your needs and goals.
