Have you been searching for someone who will listen and support you or your child without judgment? Look no further- I can help! I have over 10 years of experience working with young children, elementary aged children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults, and older adults. I have worked doing outpatient therapy, in the schools as a School Social Worker, and in a partial hospitalization program as well. All of these experiences have given me insight into the many modalities of treatment. Additionally, I am passionate about being the bridge between clients and their communities to provide the best care possible.

Do you find yourself always arguing with your child? Does it feel like your minds work completely opposite from each other? You all used to get along so well and now you feel so distant. Or maybe your child is struggling in school and you dread parent-teacher conferences. Maybe your child's friendships have changed in a profoundly negative way and you worry for your child. Growing up and becoming independent has never been more difficult for the younger generation, and I am here to assist your family in navigating these challenges.

Nobody should struggle alone. I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy to children, teens, young adults, and families.

I have specialized training working with individuals who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and depression.

I believe most people have the power to manage their own lives effectively given the right tools, encouragement, and help with the courage to make changes needed to move forward. The population I enjoy serving the most are children, teenagers, and their parents. I do not discriminate against other adults, of course. Children and teenagers are facing unimaginable difficulties including learning challenges (ADHD, Dyslexia), anger, behavioral difficulties, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and eating disorders just to name a few. It is my desire to assist your child, teenager, or yourself with the unique journey of life.

Watching, as your child struggles can be excruciating but I believe that children and families can get better if they are given the right tools and help.
Are you frustrated with the chaos, but don't know how to change it? Does your child need help? Is your family stuck in a rut? Are your kids hurting inside or struggling with life's challenges? I offer specialized therapy services to children and families, combining traditional talk therapy with the latest developments in play therapy. Because play is one of the fundamental building blocks of all communication; it works, even with very young children.

Finding the right therapist for you or your child can feel like a challenge. As someone who is passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults, I strive to make therapy an experience that is both approachable and engaging for everyone. Through a warm and non-judgmental approach, I create a safe space for open expression and exploration, empowering you and your child to take an active role in the healing journey.

Unlock powerful insights in therapy as we decode your child's behavior.
Concerned about your child? It's challenging when you hear worries from teachers, doctors, or your own instincts. Remember, seeking help isn't a failure; avoiding it can lead to real problems down the road. In therapy, discover relief and understand that you're not alone. Let's navigate this journey together. The magic lies in empowering kids throughout the process, fostering a sense of strength rather than shame.

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.
