I believe that when a person feels safe, seen, and connected, change can occur. It is an honor to sit with a child or teen in their most vulnerable moments and provide the feeling of “you are seen, you are safe here.” I am trained to help children and teens grow in connection to self, emotional regulation, and adaptive coping skills. I also understand parents' challenges and believe they deserve to feel connected, seen, and heard. I don’t believe there is such a thing as a “perfect parent,” but I also know that we don’t always feel like we know what to do when our child is struggling.

Just like this child, I know that life can sometimes be scary, but not only for kids, it can also be scary for adults.
Do you feel like life has lately become a roller coaster? You find asking yourself, "when will this stop?" Life is like a journey and sometimes the path gets a little bumpy, but it does not mean that we cannot reach our destination. We might have to slow down at times and reassess our route and possibly take a side road, however, other times we just have to slow down and be there. Trusting can be difficult and at times scary, but it can also be rewarding. As a therapist, I have learned that relationships can be very powerful and can truly help a person heal.

I will provide support not only to your child but also to you as their parent and to your family.
Is your child struggling with a lot of "what if" questions, perfectionism, fears, yelling or hitting, trouble with peers, trouble sleeping, clinginess, withdrawn, angry, or mean to others? As a parent, you may feel exhausted, lose patience, unsure of how to help, or want another perspective. I work with your child and family to provide a path for personal growth, learn healthy coping skills, build a stronger connection, improve communication, resolve conflicts, and have fun! Parents will learn how to co-regulate and manage challenging behaviors. I meet your child and family where you are to move toward healing and understanding.

My background in both clinical and school psychology and my experience working in both public and private schools gives me a unique perspective in working with children and adolescents.
I have over 25 years of experience providing psychological assessment and therapeutic services to individuals across the age span. I employ a strengths-based approach to working with my clients. My philosophy is that both assessments and therapy are most effective when they are a collaborative process, allowing clients to build upon their resources to achieve their goals. My treatment focuses on developmental, behavioral, and emotional challenges including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, social deficits/differences, disruptive behavior, and relationship difficulties.

I believe each individual has within them the solutions to their problems/concerns, they just require some guidance to find the path to their well-being. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families & couples. I have worked in the mental health field since 1976 both as a psychiatric RN and then a therapist. My experience has been diverse, including inpatient psychiatric settings working with individuals suffering from eating disorders, chemical dependency, diverse childhood & intensive adult psychiatric disorders as well as a community mental health setting assisting individuals, couples, groups, children and foster parents living in the therapeutic foster care system.

When children are faced with challenges, it may be hard for them to express their feelings verbally.
Arts and Hearts Therapy is a creative approach to your child's needs. Is your child currently struggling to manage their big feelings? Are they finding it overwhelming and challenging to navigate their relationships with family and friends, establish a positive self-image, or manage their academic responsibilities alongside extra-curricular activities? Would you like some guidance and support around boundary setting, positive discipline practices, and authentic communication with your child? I've worked with children in academic settings since 2006. Various components of Early Childhood Education play a big role in my practice.

My passion is to work with children, adolescents, & college aged individuals who struggle with behavioral issues, family conflict, life changes, self-esteem, and anxiety. My ultimate goal is to help our youth understand that it's okay not to be okay and to know that it's okay to seek help! As Robert Kiyosaki once said, “One of the biggest defects in life is in the inability to ask for help." Therefore, it is my belief that in order for a healthier future to occur, we must start by supporting the mental health of our youth, as they are the future generations to come.

I would be honored to be welcomed into your world to learn about your child, your family, and the challenges you are facing.
Being a kid is supposed to be a magical time filled with fun, learning, exploring, and giggles. As a parent, is there anything worse than realizing something has gotten in the way of your child's magic? When you can't figure out how you and your child got here, parenting becomes unbearably hard. Worse than that is feeling like you don't know how to help your child. You and your child need support, guidance, and someone who believes the magic isn't lost forever. When life gets challenging, I work with kids, teens, families, and parents. I believe that the magic isn't lost, and healing is possible for your child and family.
