Child Therapists in Wakefield, MA
Though I work with children/adolescents of all ages, I am currently seeing clients who are able to meet remotely through telehealth.
Immediate Availability M-Th for telehealth only. Being a parent is hard, even under the best of circumstances. When you have a child struggling with mental health, the job can become even harder. You might find yourself feeling scared or overwhelmed, having lots of questions but finding few answers. The good news is that you and your child don't have to go through this alone- I'm here to help. As a clinician, I know that the effects of mental health are felt far beyond the individual. Though I work with children and adolescents, I believe in having a collaborative relationship with all members of the family.

My strong desire to help others came naturally, growing up with a parent who was a first responder and through exposure to people with developmental disabilities in our community. I’ve tailored my education to support my passion of helping others. In 2021, I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with my Master's in Social Work. All of my jobs have focused on people, from my first job spending summers as a camp counselor with young children to my more recent jobs of working with at-risk youth and their parents, to my current work providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults.

My approach to therapy is grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based framework. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore all aspects of their identity, experiences, and emotions.
