If you're reading this, you’re likely a parent of a child or teen facing emotional or behavioral challenges. Your child may struggle with unsafe behavior, have difficulty expressing themselves, or be affected by past trauma. These issues may be affecting your entire family, adding strain and stress. School might be a struggle, with frequent calls home, and you may feel like you’ve tried everything without success. Your child has many strengths and positive characteristics. It is likely hard to see those get over-shadowed by their challenging behaviors. You are likely looking for answers, support and ideas.
I’m here to help. I build an authentic relationship with your child and family, using art and play to create a safe space for emotional expression. These methods can help children express difficult feelings without words. Together, we’ll work on coping skills, emotional regulation, and effective behavior management strategies to support your child’s growth.
Parenting a child with mental health challenges is not easy. I invite you to work with me to help your child or teen learn safe and effective skills for emotion expression and regulation. I am passionate about creatively addressing challenges and look forward to collaborating with your family.

I am passionate about working with children who have experienced trauma and with kids who are struggling with unsafe behavior toward themselves and others. I enjoy working with kids with difficulty controlling their emotions and behavior. I especially enjoy family therapy and believe family involvement is pivotal to kids making positive change.
