I enjoy working with
children
, adolescents and adults who are dealing with life issues that result in depression, anger, and an inability to function in their daily lives. I also enjoy working with couples and families. I believe that families function as a system and when one family member is out of sync, the entire family is disrupted. In my practice, I see
children
as young as 3 years of age. Play is the "language of the
child
" and Play Therapy allows
children
to work through their issues in a non-threatening environment.

My passion lies in working with
children
, teens, and adults; addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma,
child
behavioral issues, navigating relationships, and coping with life's transitions (like divorce or a breakup).
On the outside, everything seems just fine. But on the inside, you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and broken. You're trying your best to hold it together, but you're slowly crumbling. The obstacles are so intense that you feel like you're drowning inside. Maybe your struggles are personal barriers that you are facing. Maybe your
child
has challenging behaviors that you can no longer manage. Let me help you get back to the place where you had control of your life and feel happy, healthy, and whole again. Or maybe you've never felt those feelings before, but long to get to that place. You're not in this alone.

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
