Helping children find calm, confidence, and connection—one session at a time. You want your child to feel like themselves again—to feel safe, confident, and connected. I help children heal from trauma, anxiety, and big life changes using trauma-informed, play-based, and CBT/DBT approaches. At Fresh Start Behavioral Health, I create a warm, supportive space where kids can express emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen family relationships—restoring hope and resilience for your whole family.
I help children and families heal from trauma, anxiety, and big emotions through trauma-informed, play-based therapy. Using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I help kids express feelings, build coping skills, and strengthen family connections in a safe, supportive space.
Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and capable of healing. If your family is ready to begin that journey, I’ll meet you with warmth, understanding, and practical tools for growth. Together, we can help your child rediscover their confidence and sense of peace.
