I work with children ages 3 and up who are experiencing behavioral issues, emotional difficulties such as anxiety or depression, trauma, life changes, and more. Within a therapeutic environment, children can feel safe to work through their problems and gain the emotion regulation skills they need to work through future problems in life.

Common concerns that I treat with children include:

• Behavioral concerns

• Emotion regulation

• Social skills

• Low self worth

• Difficulty focusing

• Fear of being apart from caregiver(s)

• School avoidance

• Trama

• Major life events, such as divorce

• Foster care and adoption

Pre-teens and teens can often experience immense social challenges, academic pressure, and a hyperfocus on electronics, which can contribute to an increase in mood disorders like anxiety and depression. My work with adolescents and teens is focused on building confidence and connection with others.

Common issues that I treat with adolescents and teens include:

• Peer relationships

• Family changes

• Social anxiety

• General anxiety

• Self-harm

• Suicidal ideation

• Low self worth

• Building basic life skills for adulthood

I offer individual therapy sessions for parents and caregivers who are seeking support in their parenting journey. Raising children who are growing and learning often means that parents are learning and growing alongside.

Sessions for parents and caregivers may include:

• Exploring your overall parenting approach 

• Learning new parenting strategies

• Strengthening your family values

• Helping your child thrive within each stage of development and growth
