Are you worried about your child or teen and just want to see them confident and thriving? You may be dealing with intense emotions, school issues, or signs of grief or anxiety. Maybe your teen is shutting you out or your younger child is having frequent meltdowns or challenging behaviors. You want to feel like what you're doing is helping rather than guessing at what to do. I support kids and their families in building the skills to get through life’s challenges and in feeling more ease and connection along the way. Therapy doesn’t just support your child; it supports you, too, with strategies you can use in your day-to-day life.
My specialties include helping kids and caregivers navigate issues related to divorce, ADHD, traumatic events and emotional dysregulation. I focus on creating a safe, affirming space and offer interventions customized for your family’s unique needs. Your family's priorities are the foundation for the goals we work on to make life feel better for everyone.
Reaching out for help when your child is struggling isn't easy—you are not alone and change is possible. We can create a plan together to help your child thrive. As a biracial provider and LGBTQIA+ community member, I am committed to compassionate, inclusive care. Please reach out for a no-obligation call to see if we’re the right fit.
