You or your child are always at the center of your treatment.
My guess is you are here because you or your child have recently discovered something about yourselves that has made life challenging. Maybe you just got a diagnosis from another provider and you don't know what to do with it. Maybe you're looking for a diagnosis that won't be delivered in a stigmatizing manner. For this reason, I'm very happy you are here! Taking that first step to learn more about yourself is challenging. I'm glad you are able to take this next step in your mental health journey!

As a clinical Social Worker, I have worked with children, teens, and young adults with behavior problems since 1978.
My orientation is strength-based; I seek to create a working alliance of safety and trust. I am trained in a number of clinical methods, notably trauma-based treatment. I am non-judgmental, goal-oriented, child-centered, and I believe in the importance of making everyone I work with feel relaxed and comfortable. I work toward understanding the holistic nature of my clients, and help them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

We prioritize providing a safe space for exploration and growth, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support you and your child on your journey.
Early childhood is a dynamic and transitional time that can feel simultaneously joyous and chaotic (for both the child and the parent!). Children sometimes experience a myriad of big feelings that feel difficult to cope with - here at Rise, we aim to provide support, skills, and resources to help you and your child navigate the challenges. We have three new-to-us therapists who are accepting new clients in January. We recognize the shortage of mental health professionals for young children and parents and are so happy to fill the gap!

, childhood neglect, loss) stress.
Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

It would be my honor to walk alongside you as you reclaim joy & confidence in yourself & your children.
Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you working so hard to reparent yourself while simultaneously parenting small people with big needs? Or are you parenting a child with big behaviors or emotions? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful and isolating. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.

I work with children and adolescents between the ages of 11-19.

After attaining my Bachelors of Education, I completed both Masters and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology - specializing in work with children and adolescents.
It is difficult for children and adolescents to find an environment in which they can openly discuss the struggles that they are enduring. I work to facilitate an environment in which individuals can feel safe, supported, and understood, tailoring the dynamics within each session to meet each individuals unique needs. I then utilize an integrative approach - founded in Evidence Based Therapies - to specifically attend to each individual's needs so that they can most successfully overcome the obstacles that they are facing in their lives.
