My primary goal is to help your child develop healthy coping skills and strategies so they can fully thrive. If worries or intense emotions are holding your child back, I can help them find ways to cope and to get back to the fun of their childhood.

I have an extensive background in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which is a goal-oriented form of talk therapy that uses hands-on exercises to adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and teach kids how to cope with challenging emotions. In my practice, I also commonly utilize DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based interventions (feel free to reach out to learn more).

With all my clients, my first goal is to understand how current thoughts and behaviors might be interfering with a healthy, happy life. Once we identify the barriers, we work together to create a treatment plan and determine next steps.

Parents and caregivers are an important part of a child’s success, so I invite parents and caregivers to be a collaborative part of treatment. We’ll work together as a team to support your child’s therapy goals.
