I have over 12 years of experience working with children and families.
Decades ago, many problems stopped kids from being successful in schools, making friends, and fulfilling their potential. Parents, you now have many resources to tap when you feel that something is not quite right with the way your child thinks, feels, or acts. Decisions about what to do when something seems wrong are critical - not only to the well-being of your child but also to their healthy development and successful transition to adulthood. So, if you have a child with a mental, emotional, or behavior problem, or think you might, please feel free to contact me.

I specialize in helping children, teens and young adults.
"Where do I go from here? Who am I really?" These are questions that we often face through life transitions. Just when you may have thought that things were on smooth sailing another rift comes about. The good news is "Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path". I am passionate about working with adolescents, teens and young adult who are yearning for a change. As a team, we can explore past traumas, work to challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors. Change is inevitable and we all need that safe space to process this thing called life.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Bowie, MD provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Bowie build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
