Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or inattention? Is your child's behavior becoming hard to manage? I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy that helps kids and adults navigate life's most difficult moments. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, child behavioral problems, depression, or ADHD, I provide the support needed to regain control, rediscover your strengths, and create lasting change.
Therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I utilize evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and First Approaches Skills Training-Behavior (FAST-B). These modalities help clients reframe thought patterns, manage intense emotions, and heal from past trauma.
Whether you're a parent seeking help for your child or an adult looking to invest in your own mental well-being, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Don’t hesitate to reach out and take the first step.
