Registered Social Worker, MSW, LSW (Bilingual, English-Spanish)
Children and teenagers face a world that moves fast, feels overwhelming, and doesn't always come with an instruction manual. From behavioral challenges and academic stress to social struggles and emotional regulation, young people need a safe space to be heard and supported as they grow. I am passionate about meeting young people exactly where they are — helping them develop the tools, confidence, and resilience they need to truly thrive.

CBT Center
Psychologist, ABPP, A-CBT
Kids and teens have a lot going on, and sometimes they need more than a pep talk. At The CBT Center, we work with younger patients on anxiety, depression, school stress, social struggles, and more, using evidence-based approaches adapted for how they actually think and communicate. We also work closely with parents, because the best outcomes happen when everyone is on the same page. We make therapy feel approachable, even for the kid who swore they'd never talk to a therapist.

Inspired Hope
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a high school teacher for over twenty years, a mother of four teens, and an In Home Clinician working with children and adolescents for five years, I like to say that I speak fluent teen. These formative years are met with some many obstacles; mentally, physically, academically, and personally. Navigating one's way during this time can be confusing, and we all know that "parents just don't understand." I start by building rapport and helping your child to acknowledge their struggles and then we work together to find ways to overcome them in a supportive and understanding space.
