Does your child/teen feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or struggling to manage anxiety?
That’s where I come in
Watching your child battle anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional outbursts can be heartbreaking. or Maybe your teen is stuck in their thoughts, avoiding social situations, or feeling like they’re never “good enough.” You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to help for long.
With extensive experience working with children, teens, and families, I understand the unique strengths and challenges that each young person brings to the table. I understand the strengths your child has, even when they're hidden beneath layers of anxiety or emotional difficulties, and I know how to work with them in a way that brings out their best qualities.
Therapy is not just about managing symptoms; it’s about giving your child and teens the tools they need to thrive long-term. From building their confidence to improving emotional regulation, my focus is to provide a safe space where your child can explore their emotions, learn new coping strategies, and ultimately become the resilient, self-assured individual they’re capable of being.
Together, we can help your child grow into a self-assured, adaptable individual who’s ready to face the future with strength and optimism. If you’re ready to take the first step toward positive change, I’m here to guide you and your family on that journey!
MY APPROACH
I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are dealing with “Big Feelings”— emotions that feel overwhelming and difficult to manage. Whether it's outbursts of anger, withdrawal from activities they used to enjoy, or struggles in school, I help kids and teens understand and navigate their emotions in a healthier way.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) ensuring that your child receives effective treatment that has been proven to help.
But therapy isn’t just for the child—it's a process that involves the whole family. I work closely with parents to ensure that you're equipped with the tools and strategies needed to support your child at home. Whether it’s developing new routines, using positive reinforcement, or learning communication techniques, I guide families toward creating an environment where lasting change is possible!
