As a parent, I know how difficult it is to watch your child struggle. We all want our kids to reach their full potential- confident, content and connected. Our children are growing up with extremely high academic, social and extracurricular demands in addition to exposure to the world through technology in ways previous generations have not had to navigate, resulting in higher levels of anxiety and behavior challenges. With 19 years of clinical experience along with the lessons I’ve learned raising my own three children, I specialize in guiding both children and parents through life’s modern challenges with practical skills.

Kids and teens are not little adults, so they need a counseling experience designed specifically for their developmental stage and learning style. I help children learn to regulate their emotions, communicate their needs, connect with others and develop a positive view of themselves and the world around them through a tailored approach.

For parents, I provide hour-long complimentary consultations every five sessions to provide guidance on strategies you can use with your child to help navigate those big emotions and behaviors in the home setting. At Appa's House Children's Counseling, we provide the expertise and exceptional counseling experience your child deserves and you can trust.

I primarily work with children who are struggling with emotion regulation, self-esteem, emotional communication, and healthy worldview, no matter their diagnosis. When children build awareness and develop these four main areas of functioning, they are able to cope with any presenting issue or mental health symptom to thrive in school, home and their community.
