As a mental health counselor specializing in working with children, preteens, and teens, I am passionate about helping young people develop the skills they need to express, understand, and regulate their emotions. Using techniques like CBT, play therapy and art therapy, I provide a creative and engaging environment where kids can explore their feelings in ways that feel comfortable and natural. These therapies are particularly effective for helping children and teens articulate difficult emotions they might not have the words for, allowing them to better process their experiences and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
I work with children and teens facing a variety of challenges, from academic pressure and social struggles to family changes or anxiety. My goal is to empower them with the emotional tools they need to manage stress and build resilience, whether at school, home, or in their personal lives.
Whether your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, anger, emotional regulation, academic pressure, behavior challenges, or other challenges, I am here to help. My approach is focused on creating a collaborative environment where children, teens, and their families can work together to foster emotional well-being and create lasting positive change.
