It can be really difficult to be a young person with anxiety, it can be even more difficult watching your own child or loved one struggle.
Children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and difficult life transitions know that it can feel overwhelming, stressful and may feel worried that no one will understand how they feel. This may affect friendships, relationships with family members, school and work experiences, and many other areas of life. Therapy can help decrease anxiety and worries by teaching new coping skills to better manage anxiety and stress. This can lead to feeling a greater sense of self control, happiness and well being.

I work primarily with children and adolescents.
Counseling provides people with an ability to increase their insight and perspective about themselves. It enables them with appropriate skills to navigate the world around them while caring for themselves. It allows people to learn how to regulate and express their thoughts and feelings in healthy ways. Once someone has the opportunity to process their experiences, they develop the self-efficacy needed to change unhealthy patterns.

I am a therapist who integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and systems theories into my clinical treatment of children, adolescents, and college students. Because I greatly value interdisciplinary work, I strive for successful collaboration with social workers, physicians, and educators in the provision of holistic behavioral healthcare for my clients. With a deep appreciation for the family system I partner with the important people in a child's life who often influence and affect their behavior through modeling and other relational processes. By providing concrete parenting strategies that increase self-efficacy, I aim to reduce disruptive behaviors & improve parent-child relationships.

And I see therapy not just as a way to decrease what you aren’t wanting but also a chance to increase what you’d like to experience in yourself, your life, & your family.
