About My Clients

Does your child struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, or mental illness? Are you struggling to connect with your teen? My goal is to help your child understand what the root cause of their feelings and resulting behaviors are and to set goals for improving their quality of life. It's going to be okay, I get it. Let's take this journey together!

My Background and Approach

I have created a safe space for your child to talk about their feelings with zero judgment. I will never force anyone to talk about something they don’t want to talk about. However, I can handle anything that you tell me. I have been specializing in treating anxiety, depression, and emotional disorders with children and teens since 2006. I want to explore the roots of the overlying issues and figure out where it came from. If it turns out that your child needs to make big changes in their life I can help guide and provide them with a safety net and a place to explore their options and the possible consequences. I will challenge them when needed in a nonjudgmental way, and I’ll do it gently and only when it provides an opportunity for growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person has the potential for change. I have witnessed powerful healing and growth in my presence. Being a therapist is truly a gift and I feel privileged to help everyone who steps into my office. I believe that therapy should be a safe space that will always remain confidential. I believe that therapeutic relationships are naturally healing. And even though what we talk about is important, I know that the relationship itself does a lot of the work. I watched close family members struggle with trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms. That is what initially attracted me to this work. I believe that being free from fear and shame is a human right. If you are fed up with your child feeling bad and you’re ready for relief, I want you to contact me so that we can work together to create a better life for you and your child.
