I specialize in providing therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 9–20).

I create a space where my clients feel truly seen and heard, while also being gently challenged to grow.

Approach Description: When working with children, adolescents, and young adults, I incorporate developmentally appropriate tools—such as play-based techniques, creative expression, and structured strategies—to help them process emotions and build resilience in a way that feels engaging and accessible.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to express themselves freely, explore challenges without judgment, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all—it’s a flexible process that evolves based on your needs, goals, and readiness.

At my practice, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, low mood/motivation, emotional regulation, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and is always tailored to meet each individuals developmental needs. Whether it’s helping a teen manage social anxiety, supporting a child through a family transition, or guiding a young adult in building confidence and coping strategies, I work to provide my clients with tools that foster resilience and emotional well-being.
I also have experience supporting individuals with ADHD—offering practical strategies and compassionate insight to reduce overwhelm and increase self-understanding.
Parents are included in the process where appropriate, and collaboration is a key part of the work I do. Together, we work toward meaningful change and long-term growth.
