Navigating life can be difficult at times, and I can support you and your child in facing your challenges. Your child may be struggling with trauma or other life stressor that has left your family feeling helpless and out of options. I specialize in helping children, teens, and families cope with difficult situations, offering support and guidance in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I take an individualized, strength-based approach to therapy, identifying your child’s strengths to help them grow and flourish.
I believe in empowering my clients to explore their strengths and resilience while addressing areas of concern. My goal is to help children, teens, and families not only overcome immediate challenges but also to foster long-term emotional well-being and personal growth.
I work collaboratively with clients on anxiety disorders, depression, behavioral issues, trauma, and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and humanistic principles tailored to meet the needs of each client.
