I specialize in working with children and teens by using a mindfulness-based approach with areas of knowledge in Play Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
In today's world, it is harder than ever to be a child or teenager. Navigating childhood development, social media, school and parental expectations along with so much more can impact an individual's mental health. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, judgment-free, and nurturing space to foster processing, healthy interpersonal, and coping skills. When we provide children and teens with critical thinking and communication skills, emotional literacy, and a growth mindset, we offer this generation tools and skills for a brighter and more sustainable future.

I come from a person centred perspective that incorporates DBT and CBT .
My personal philosophy of healing is not standardized. Growth comes from a place of vulnerability and courage to face difficult truths and clients will learn and grow through a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. Acceptance of all parts of ourselves is fundamental in therapy and I believe change requires a willingness to transfer negative energy out in order to make room for our ideal selves. The therapeutic process will provide a space for clients to discover their needs and the best way to meet them. My hope is that you gain a difference in perspective that serves you and provides a basis for unconditional acceptance.

Sessions are always tailored to the client’s needs and often include a mix of CBT , IFS, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Ecotherapy, MI, Yoga, and/or DBT.
I truely believe every person already has the capacity, ability, and knowledge they need to live a life they value and develop a better understanding of their inner world. I enjoy supporting children, teens, and adults in the therapy process. Those I support are often having challenging emotional experiences like depression, anxiety, grief, and shame. Often these feelings are linked to trauma, navigating life changes, relationships with family/friends/significant others, body-image, mild disordered eating, grief, behavioral issues, and animal related experiences.

Using CBT , your child can learn to manage and communicate their emotions in healthy ways.
You’ve tried everything, but your child is struggling despite your best efforts. You’re constantly managing their tear-streaked tantrums or sullen silences. “Time outs” don’t work, rewards don’t work, you want to pull your hair out sometimes. You’ve tried talking to them, but they won’t tell you what they need. You wish you could read their mind. Pain and anxiety are written all over your child’s face. You so badly want to help but don’t know how. The helplessness and guilt you feel to see them suffer are almost too much to bear. You’ll never give up searching for a way to help them. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your child.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
