Growing up is hard, emotions are harder, and for many children and adolescence, these struggles have us adults worrying about their happiness and how it is impacting their daily life and functioning. And if a child has experienced something traumatic, the struggle is 10-times harder. I am here to work with you, your child, and your family to create an experience that not only helps you child better understand themselves and their emotions, but also enhance the parent-child relationship. Together, as a cohesive unit, we work to create a treatment experience that is uniquely tailored to your family’s wants and needs.
I specialize in the treatment of pediatric trauma, with specialized training to work with children from birth to 6 years old with a focus in attachment and the parent-child dyad. In this, I work with families experiencing trauma, grief & loss, attachment concerns/disorders, anxiety, pre/post adoption work, and histories with the child welfare system.
As your therapist I am here for you and your family unconditionally, with no judgment, just support, consistency, honesty, and clinical expertise. Let us work together to help your family grow and be its best version of itself!
