Is your child or teenager struggling with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, avoidance, or trauma? Is your toddler getting stuck in meltdowns or defiance? As a parent, it can be overwhelming to watch your child go through these challenges and feel unsure about how to help. I understand, and I’m here to support you. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where we can strengthen emotional regulation, improve family communication, and build on your child’s unique strengths.
My training at UCLA has equipped me with varied evidence-based approaches. For anxiety, OCD, and trauma, I grow your child's coping strategies, build family communication, and implement gradual exposures to help them overcome their fears. For behavioral issues, we build a foundation of positive parenting and consistency to transform emotional reactions.
I know that no two families are the same, and I tailor my approach to fit the specific needs of your child and your family dynamic. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but we can take the first step together. Let’s connect for a 15-minute phone call to explore how I can help.
