I work with children, adolescents and adults using various evidenced-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Are you struggling with anxiety, frequent sadness, or trauma symptoms? Would you like support around managing relationship challenges, loneliness, or uncertainty about your future? Are you unsure how to handle your child’s recent mood or behavior changes? If so, working with a therapist can help you find relief. Together we can explore new ways to cope with painful emotions, set your child up for success, manage life transitions, accomplish value-based goals, foster meaningful relationships and gain insight into what may be contributing to your long-standing concerns.

In addition to working with adults, I have extensive experience treating children and adolescents across individual, family and group modalities.
My practice is centered on collaborating with my clients. I listen closely and explore carefully in order to develop a space in which my clients and I can come to a deeper understanding of what is interfering with their wishes and goals. Whether the struggle involves depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, emotion regulation or interpersonal issues, I offer a warm and empathic environment to facilitate the expression of difficult thoughts and feelings. Throughout my graduate and post-graduate training, I have found that using a flexible approach best enables my clients to work thru fixed or destructive patterns.

Re: children and adolescents, they often have behavioral issues that appear confusing. This includes ADHD, unresolved stress, unsupported grief, addiction/recovery issues. Families of all types can have these ongoing struggles. Conflict resolution is paramount between family members. In addition, counseling the parents re: their own depression, anxiety or personality issues is paramount to completing the cycle of ongoing family distress.

I believe children and parents can have a happy time together. All children as they grow and all parents as they go through parenting encounter kinks in their development. I like to help children and adolescents learn to listen to and express their feelings directly and to help parents learn how to listen and communicate better with their children. With over 25 years of experience working individually with children and parents, in play group therapy and in parenting groups, I know how to use the strengths of each, child and parent, to promote better understanding of themselves and each other.

After many years of professional experience I have learnt the simple truth that psychological distress is like being tied up in knots. These knots can make us feel " stuck" in patterns that repeat themselves in intimate relationships. In treatment we identify, understand and work out strategies to loosen their hold on you.

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.
