My passion and purpose in this line of work is to educate and equip to safeguard the pure vibrancy of what childhood should be. To not get snagged in the online world. To not feel lost or misunderstood at school. To assist parents who have lost their ability to respond effectively to the challenges that now confront them. Sometimes, often times we are harboring a lot of our own unhealed pain that is now standing in the way of our best interests and the best interests of our children. To provide a safe place to share doubts and worry to regroup in a peaceful setting no matter what point of the lifespan or healing you are on.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing treatment to children, adolescents, and their families in a warm, caring environment. Coping with your child's behavior, diagnosis, or disability can be quite distressing. I identify both your child's strengths as well as challenges to determine the focus of treatment. Therapy is a collaborative model with parents to foster the development of social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive skills. I believe it is important to coordinate services with psychiatrists, school staff, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other professionals to provide the most comprehensive treatment for your child.

The strongest person is the one who knows when to ask for help. Everyone struggles, but why do some people handle life's challenges so well? My goal is to help my clients have a happy and fulfilling life. What this means is clearly different from person to person. My aim is to identify the behaviors that are keeping this from happening, implement these changes, practice them in real life and moving on. I am a short term-solution focused therapist. The more you do outside of therapy, the faster you can achieve the changes you desire.

Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth, families, and adults to process their past traumatic events and childhood abuse. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.

I’ve spent many years working in children’s mental health, with a strong focus on attachment work, parenting support, and improving emotional regulation. I have a deep understanding of the pain points that children and families often face, particularly when dealing with trauma, attachment issues, and adverse life experiences. I recognize that children communicate in a variety of different ways and meet their needs through an array of therapeutic modalities, such as play therapy, expressive arts therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and internal family systems therapy.
