Children often communicate what they are experiencing through their emotions and behavior before they have the words to explain it. I use a warm, engaging, strengths-based approach to help children feel safe, understood, and successful in therapy. Through developmentally appropriate interventions and collaboration with caregivers, I help children build emotional awareness and coping skills while addressing the needs beneath challenging behavior.

Adolescence brings enormous emotional, social, and developmental changes. I provide teens with a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and build confidence in navigating challenges. I help teens develop coping and communication skills while recognizing their strengths, and I involve caregivers when helpful to strengthen relationships and support progress outside of therapy.

Parenting can feel especially difficult when your child is struggling and the strategies that once worked no longer seem effective. I partner with parents and caregivers to better understand what may be underneath their child’s behavior, strengthen connection, and develop practical ways to respond to their child’s unique needs. My goal is to help caregivers feel more confident and supported while creating meaningful change for the whole family.

Children and teens are shaped by the relationships and environments around them. I use a family systems lens to understand a young person’s challenges within the context of their family, relationships, school, and community. By looking beyond the individual child, I help families recognize patterns, strengthen relationships, improve communication, and create changes that support the child and family as a whole.

I use CBT strategies in developmentally appropriate and engaging ways to help children, teens, and young adults understand connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be getting in the way, build practical coping and problem-solving skills, and practice new ways of responding to challenges so clients can feel more confident and successful in everyday life.

Strong, supportive relationships are an important foundation for a child’s emotional well-being. I use an attachment-informed lens to understand behavior in the context of a child’s relationships and emotional needs. I work with children and caregivers to strengthen connection, increase understanding and emotional safety, and help caregivers respond in ways that support their child’s development and ability to navigate difficult emotions.
