"Anyone can find the dirt in someone's life, be the one who finds the gold." As a therapist, I believe that each person has strengths to overcome even the darkest of battles but, sometimes in the trenches we lose sight of our own abilities. My work is most rewarding when I am able to help clients-whether individuals, families, or couples, use their existing strengths to overcome and create long lasting changes in their lives.

I believe that each of us, child or adult, has within ourselves what we need to successfully face life's challenges. Most of the time we are able to use our inner resources to successfully navigate on our own. However, there may be times when it is helpful to have a different perspective in order to reach a resolution. I will work with you, your child or your family to help you discover, or rediscover, your strengths and resilience.

Through my licensure as a clinicial marriage and family therapist, and a registered play therapist, I enjoy helping clients work through trauma, school-related problems, family issues, gender identity issues, and parent- child relationships.
I believe that all families, couples, and individuals can be empowered to make change, and finding the therapist that believes in their story can help in that amazing process. Change is difficult, especially when people feel judged or shamed. I value the relationship I have with my clients and work hard to ensure that every client's story is taken seriously, and heard with respect, regardless of the situation.

Child Therapists

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
