Is your child or teen struggling with excessive worry?  Have you noticed them seeming more withdrawn, angry, or upset and having difficulty managing their emotions?  Have they gone through or are currently going through a difficult transition/challenge in life and having trouble adjusting?  Seeing your child or teen struggle can leave you feeling helpless. Seeking help from a therapist may be the best choice to help your child or teen work towards meaningful change, create a better life balance, and facilitate inner peace.  

Therapy can be scary for kids and teens, and I do my best to create a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment, where they can freely express themselves and explore their struggles, as we work towards their goals. I help my clients find effective ways to understand and cope with intense emotions as well as replace maladaptive thought patterns in order to promote positive healing.

I am a nationally certified counselor, a certified trauma professional, as well as am becoming a Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I currently work with ages 10+ based on presenting concerns. My experience includes working with children and adolescents struggling with an array of issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self harm, anger, and self esteem.
