Are you worried about your child (age 8 and up) or teen struggling with overwhelming anxiety, persistent sadness, or intense anger? Are you concerned about potential substance use or a lack of clear direction in their life? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), I specialize in providing support to children, adolescents, and families navigating these challenging experiences. I understand the worries that come with seeing your child struggle, and I'm here to offer expert guidance and support.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. I utilize multiple modalities to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional regulation skills, foster psychological flexibility, and quickly identify and amplify positive changes.

I recognize the powerful and often unseen influence of family dynamics on a child's well-being. My practice uniquely integrates this understanding, offering a collaborative approach that considers the broader family system, even in a virtual setting. By involving parents and other family members when appropriate, we can foster more effective communication, strengthen family relationships, and create a more supportive home environment. This collaborative approach, tailored to your family's unique needs, can lead to more sustainable and positive outcomes for your child.

Your child can expect a compassionate and respectful environment from our very first session, where feeling truly heard and comfortable is paramount as we begin to map out a positive path forward.
