Areas of Expertise
Child Therapy & Parent Coaching
Is your child having difficulties expressing emotions? Do you find yourself at a loss for how to support your child while still maintaining boundaries? Child therapy focuses not only on the child, but the entire family unit. I provide tools for your child to identify and express emotions more readily, as well as offer support and skill building for parents on how to best support your child and yourself.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be an overwhelming experience. I understand the burden and pain that comes with anxiety, and am committed to helping you manage and overcome your anxious thoughts and feelings. I use a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques and mindfulness, to help you regain control of your life. No matter how severe your anxiety may be, I am here for you every step of the way.
Depression
Depression is a difficult battle, but as an adolescent or young adult, it's crucial to know that there's a wealth of support and resources available to help you on your journey to recovery. Depression can feel isolating, but you are not alone in this struggle. I believe in collaboration, meeting you where you are in your experience and building skills to manage daily challenges. Remember that healing is a process, and seeking support to manage depression is a brave and positive step towards regaining your mental well-being. You deserve to find hope and happiness, and I am here to help you reach your goals.
