If you’re looking for a supportive therapist to help your child or adolescent, I’d be happy to talk with you about how we can work together to support their growth.
As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), my focus is on helping children and adolescents navigate the ups and downs of growing up. I believe that therapy should be a safe and nurturing space where young people feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to build a strong, trusting relationship with each client, so they can openly express their thoughts and feelings. Through a combination of behavioral therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Emotion-Focused interventions, I work with the child or adolescent to learn life and social skills throughout each aspect of their life.

Normal life events can be stressful when they exceed your ability to cope. Losses like the death of a loved one, separation/divorce, relocation or retirement, or an "empty nest" may threaten your emotional and physical health. Even positive events like marriage or the birth of a child require substantial adjustment. While small amounts of stress can be a positive motivator, prolonged exposure to stress may lead to anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to cope with the demands placed on you, it is probably time to see a therapist.

I have over 20 years in clinical practice, helping children, adolescents and adults overcome the challenges of trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, difficulty forming healthy attachment, life transitions, and more.
In seeking a therapist, you are taking an important step in caring for yourself. Art therapy can help you sort things out and find your way to peace, with strengths and resources you didn't know you had, through your own creative problem-solving process. My training has taught me to gently guide creative development in persons with little or no artistic experience. I use art-based creative, verbal, and experiential methods.

Children, adolescents and young adults sometimes experience stress related to school, activities, challenges at home, or periods of transition. These stressors may lead to mood swings, changes in behavior and difficulty expressing emotions and thoughts. My role as a therapist is to help kids and young adults cope with stress and learn strategies to maintain an emotionally balanced life. I provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and then work with individuals and families to develop an individualized treatment plan that draws from the client's existing strengths. I utilize evidence-based treatment primarily drawing from CBT.

Thank you for looking at my ad and considering the process of psychotherapy/counseling for your life. Many of my new clients have spoken about the anxiety they experienced when they decided to seek additional support through a therapist. I have come to recognize that this anxiety mostly comes from each client really hoping they can find the right match for themselves. Hopefully this brief biography will facilitate your decision about whether we could match up nicely. Please review my website which will provide you with a greater understanding of my experiences.
