Personal Statement:

"Birds fly, fish swim, children play." - Dr. Gary Landreth 

I am passionate about childhood mental health, and only work with children and teens (ages 2-16). Specializing in this age group, I also partner with the parent(s)/guardian(s). I try to foster a NON-JUDGMENTAL environment to explore the issues their child and family may be facing. 

Some children I see experience issues with adjustment, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. Some children ask to come to therapy; some don't. I focus on building trust and rapport with every child/teen I work with. 

Depending on the age of the child, I use techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, and narrative therapy. To help your child to learn to be the best version of themselves, to build on your strengths as a parent, and to learn how to create more peace in your family, contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! 

"I use a variety of approaches, all grounded in child development. You and I will decide if play therapy, talk therapy, or a combo of the two is best for your child. Your child will learn to accept themselves, regulate their emotions, connect to their body in times of stress, and learn more about their unique strengths as an individual!"
