I strive to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive space where children and adolescents feel understood, valued, and free to express themselves. It is a privilege to walk alongside young clients and their families as they navigate challenges, build insight, and grow into their sense of self. I believe each child and teen is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs and developmental stage.
I have experience working with children and teens ages 4–18 in outpatient settings, supporting a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, social difficulties, trauma, and life transitions.
My work is grounded in Adlerian play therapy with children, allowing them to communicate, process experiences, and build skills in a way that feels natural and engaging. With adolescents, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, relationships, and identity development.
I am especially passionate about helping young people feel more confident, connected, and understood, while equipping them with tools they can carry into their everyday lives.
