As a child and adolescent therapist with almost 3 years in the field, I am driven by a profound passion for supporting young minds as they navigate the challenges of growing up. With a compassionate heart and a commitment to fostering resilience, I provide a safe and nurturing space where children and adolescents can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and thrive. Guided by empathy and a belief in the innate potential of every young person, I am dedicated to empowering my clients to overcome obstacles and embrace their unique strengths as they journey towards healing and self-discovery.
Therapy doesn't always have to be talking about deep dark secrets. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I like to integrate games, art, crafts, humor, and other creative interventions into my therapeutic approaches while we unpack topics that can be scary to directly confront.
Taking the first step is one of the most challenging parts of the process. I am here to guide you through it so we can begin working together.
