Together, we can create a safe and supportive environment where both children and adults can thrive, overcome obstacles with resilience, and embark on a journey of healing and growth.
Life can be overwhelming for kids and teens of all ages. After experiencing a pandemic, managing social media, friendships, and school, they have a lot on their plates. As a parent, it can be difficult to witness their struggles and not know how to provide the right support. What they truly need are tools to cope with challenges, skills to regulate their emotions, and a safe outlet where they can feel seen, understood, and heard. As a therapist specializing in working with children, I'm here to offer that guidance and create a nurturing space where your child can thrive.

I treat psychological difficulties with a compassionate, yet results-oriented approach. When someone suffers from a medical disorder, a comprehensive assessment of the problem is required in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect, treatment will repeatedly fail. As a diagnostician, my focus is to treat people, many of whom had been non-responsive to previous psychological / medical treatment, in this same way. Only with a correct diagnosis will treatment be effective. Once determined, goals discussed, a treatment plan in place, the therapy begins. With time and work, individuals grow to experience enhanced emotional health along with interpersonal and professional contentment.

Therapy is a transformational process. If you are having a difficult time, you are going to need help navigating the struggles in your life. Two of the most common reasons that people come to therapy are they LACK BALANCE in their lives and have NOT BEEN HONEST with themselves. I can certainly empathize with clients who are anxious about or even fear change. Ambivalence regarding change is a common human struggle. However, if you are truly committed to eliminating your current distress, I would love to help in your journey toward a more fulfilling and rewarding life.
