Helping children and teens become the best version of themselves is truly my passion! It is extremely important to me that they feel respected, valued, and appreciated. Every single child has a unique story to tell, and the way that I engage with them varies based on their own special needs. Whether they are having difficulty learning school subjects or want to communicate with others more effectively, I thoroughly enjoy finding creative ways to empower, encourage and inspire them. I find it most helpful to first validate their feelings, listen attentively without judgment, and offer comfort to lead towards the path of healing.
Knowing that there is no “right” way to achieve goals, I strive to challenge children and teens to think outside the box and promote their sense of self-worth while also pushing them to think in the “gray” as opposed to a more “black and white” way of thinking. I strive to use various techniques accompanied by a calm and compassionate demeanor.
Finding a therapist that your child trusts and connects with is of utmost importance. I look forward to the privilege of partnering with you, building and maintaining a meaningful connection with your child, actively listening, offering unconditional positive regard, and making a positive difference in their life!
