Whether you're reading this for yourself or for a child or teenager, it only takes a little courage to start.
To me, therapy is NOT: a one-sided conversation, a mark of inferiority or shame, or a depressing hour that you "have to endure" regularly. Therapy IS: a form of self-care (perhaps the most important form), an environment for healing and growth, and a sign to yourself and your loved ones that you care.

Somewhere along the way, you may have started to feel like you lost a part of yourself. You are taking care of everything and everyone else, but you feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and not quite like yourself anymore.
As a mother of six, I understand how easy it is to lose yourself while taking care of everyone else. What others may see as “normal stress” can build over time and start to affect your relationships, your energy, and how you feel day to day.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted by anxiety and depression. Many of the clients I support are navigating academic pressure, relationship stress, family conflict, identity development, or major life transitions and often feel like they are carrying far more than they should on their own.
In therapy, I help clients understand what their anxiety or depression is trying to communicate, rather than viewing it as something “wrong” with them. Together, we work on building emotional regulation skills, reducing intense worry or low mood, and creating healthier patterns.

In therapy, my goal is to help you expand your capacity, discover your strengths, and feel empowered to embrace the complexity and uncertainty of the world we live in. Coping is not the same as healing therefore I use a blend of evidence-based approaches including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and mindfulness. I also value the power of movement and somatic awareness in healing, and I integrate that wisdom when it's helpful.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
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 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.
