If you are looking for a supportive and approachable therapist to help you, your child, or your adolescent build effective coping strategies and create goal oriented solutions to help you improve your quality of life, I can help. My passion is adolescents and children. Some of the issues I focus on include anxiety, depression, adjustment problems, and social skills enhancement in young people. I have extensive experience in helping children, adolescents, adults, and families with complex underlying medical and/or developmental diagnoses deal with the impact these conditions have on their behavior, emotional happiness, and interactions with others.
I have extensive experience using CBT, play therapy, and other approaches including sand tray, to create a safe, nurturing environment in which to heal and grow. I work collaboratively with the client and family to create a therapeutic alliance of trust, and to build a strong, self-sustaining support system.
Therapy does not have to be a painful or threatening experience, especially when the therapist is committed to helping you. I am more than happy to speak with you about how we can begin the journey toward improving you or your child's quality of life. Let's work together.
