Are you struggling to handle your child's big emotions and behaviors?.
Helping children manage big behaviors and overwhelming emotions starts with building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe and nurturing environment where the kid can feel listened to and understood. Through play therapy, kids are able to express their emotions and learn how to manage them in a healthy way.

Have you been told you have a strong-willed child?.
I believe in a collaborative approach working with the child, family and any other supports in place to help the child succeed. Together as a team, we will work to create a healing space not only in our sessions but at home as well, empowering both the child and family to handle conflict and stressful situations.

We want our children to succeed in all areas of their lives, but sometimes we find ourselves dealing with difficult behaviors, such as defiance, tantrums, and meltdowns.
Parent- Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for children ages 2-7 years old that significantly improves parent- child relationships and decreases disruptive behavior. 40+ years of clinical research supports what PCIT Therapists already know: children improve quickly, these gains are maintained over time, and these gains also happen in school settings and with siblings.

I am a licensed psychologist with training in evidence-based treatments for children, adolescents, and adults.
I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based treatments. I use research-informed approaches compassionately and flexibly to meet the needs of the individuals I see. Goals of treatment are typically to work with clients to change thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve healthy coping and emotional well-being.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, but most often work with children, young adults, and their families.
Mental health is defined as the ability to love, and the ability to work; to be able to have stable and emotionally fulfilling relationships, to take care of your daily needs, and to be able to use your time creatively and productively. I offer person-centered counseling that focuses on helping clients understand their thoughts and feelings in order to change their behavior. I also specialize in Executive Function Coaching. Young people are often bright and capable, but overwhelmed by frustration, anxiety, or inattention. EFC teaches techniques to stay focused, plan ahead, get organized, make decisions, and follow through.

Next, I clarify what is expected from parent and child for therapy to work.
I help parents, kids, and teens create lasting changes in attitude and behavior with proven, results-driven strategies. Whether you’re struggling with defiance, meltdowns, school calls, selective listening, focus, screen time, homework battles, sibling fights, bedwetting, picky eating, tics, anxiety, depression, or other parenting challenges, we will tackle it together and restore peace to your home. I know that finding high-quality family mental health care can be tough, which is why I have pursued specialized training to provide efficient solutions for many ages and problems. Progress is possible with just a few steps.

I have had the privilege to work in different settings that have allowed me to work with children, adolescents, and adults.
It is possible with a little bit of work to reconnect with your child and have the relationship that you want. Your child, and you, can both learn ways of communicating and coping that can once again lead to the connected family life you want both of you to have.

I also have experience working with children and teenagers alongside their families who are dealing with anger management, grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Whether you are a first-time therapy seeker that is not sure what to expect or you are seeking out therapy again after a bad experience, I want to first say that I am proud of you for taking that first step. Finding the right therapist – one that you feel comfortable talking to – can be very overwhelming. I would like to walk you through the process and get to know you and what you are going through.
