Children and teenagers are more overwhelmed today than ever. The daily challenges they face can be highly stressful and can lead to significant impairments in self-esteem, family relationships, school functioning, friendships, and other important areas of life. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help my clients achieve a sense of peace with themselves and the choices they make. I enjoy providing an environment where kids can decompress and work through difficult situations, learning to feel good about themselves by developing problem-solving skills, maximizing their natural strengths, and utilizing the supports they have in their lives.

Working with children and parents is a privilege for me. I am skilled at creating a warm, non-threatening atmosphere in which children and adults alike can express themselves freely. Parent support and education are an integral part of my work and fundamental to any child's treatment.

I truly love my work and enjoy wonderful rapport with my clients. Mutual trust and open communication form the foundation of any positive therapeutic relationship. I have great respect for people who have the courage to seek help, and offer my undivided attention, honesty, and sensitivity in return.
