An openness to the idea of new possibilities is the heart of the therapeutic alliance I seek to build with my clients. You or your child may be experiencing excessive worry, sadness, anger, or low self-esteem that is interfering with everyday tasks. Maybe you are encountering parenting challenges that have put a strain on your relationship with your child, and you would like to do things differently. Maybe there was an event or experience that has you or your child feeling “stuck”. Opening yourself up to the idea of trying something new is already a major step toward a new beginning!
I collaborate with children & families from a strength based, culturally competent perspective, using various theoretical models & techniques. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, & parent-child relational challenges. I create a collaborative, emotionally safe space to express yourself freely & find your own solutions.
We all face stressors and challenges that can be difficult to process, resulting in big emotions that may be difficult to identify or express – children, especially. These emotions can lead to behaviors that are unproductive and strain our relationships with those closest to us. I invite you explore these challenges with me by your side.
