Is your child or teen struggling with constant worry often asking "what if" questions, avoiding everyday activities like school, or social events. Do they experience irritability, moodiness, meltdowns, or big anger outbursts. Maybe they are in constant need of reassurance or have difficulty focusing on tasks. These can be normal signs of development however there is reason for concern when they interfere with everyday life. My focus is to work with your child on developing coping strategies to improve their ability to manage their thoughts and feelings. We will create a plan to lessen the burden of stress in their life.

I specialize in working with children, teens and adolescents who struggle with interpersonal skills, big emotions, life transitions and problems focusing on tasks. I will help your child identify signs and symptoms while also educating them on ways to cope by utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies.

My goal is to work together with my client and their supports to navigate how they can best meet their goals. I believe therapy with children, teens and young adults is most effective in a relaxed and welcoming environment where clients feel safe and comfortable to be themselves.
