I support young children, teens, and young adults navigating complex family dynamics and transitions. I specialize in helping those who are or have experienced parent separation, foster care, adoption, or estrangement. These changes can feel destabilizing, often bringing deep worry, grief, or a sense of isolation. I provide a safe space to process the weight of trauma and the emotions that come with shifting family structures. Sessions focus to develop practical tools for emotional regulation and resilience. My focus is to support my clients in finding a sense of safety and belonging as they navigate their unique path toward healing
My therapeutic approach is person-centered with different interventions including Child-Centered Play Therapy, CBT, TF-CBT, and more. I focus on children's specific needs ranging from helping them build self-awareness, develop coping skills, cultivate self-compassion, self regulation, peer-relationships, and more.
I believe in creating a strong therapeutic alliance and tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of your child and family. If you are ready to begin your healing journey, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am available for individual therapy sessions Mondays through Fridays and I look forward to connecting with you.
