You’re seeing the warning signs that something is off with your child. It’s heartbreaking to watch them suffer with persistent sadness, extreme irritability and violent outbursts. What about the excessive worry, changes in mood and constant complaints of having a stomachache? Your family has been through so much lately, and the intense wave of transition has changed the dynamic in the home. Your child has a hard time communicating what they are feeling and might not even know what’s really bothering them. While everyone struggles to keep up with the changes, communication and connection have all but disappeared in the chaos.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy for children, adolescents, and families. My approach to treatment is structured and collaborative, engaging and pragmatic, and tailored to the strengths and needs of the client and family. I strive to help young people and their parents to (1) develop a conceptual understanding of their presenting issues and problems of concern, (2) examine how their beliefs and feelings affect their behavior choices, and (3) develop and practice specific coping skills and strategies, emotion regulation skills, and step-by-step problem solving skills to better manage these issues and other stressors.

Arts and Hearts Therapy is a creative approach to your child's needs. Is your child currently struggling to manage their big feelings? Are they finding it overwhelming and challenging to navigate their relationships with family and friends, establish a positive self-image, or manage their academic responsibilities alongside extra-curricular activities? Would you like some guidance and support around boundary setting, positive discipline practices, and authentic communication with your child? I've worked with children in academic settings since 2006. Various components of Early Childhood Education play a big role in my practice.

Sometimes, your teen has experienced a traumatic event or is just having difficulty navigating life’s changes, such as divorce; the death of a family member; adoption; or adjusting to school, friends, and their self-identity. Communicating how they feel, especially to their parents, is not a teen’s strong point. As a result, both the teen and parents become frustrated. Adolescence is a significant life transition. Without some guidance (or interpreter), the process becomes a rocky road for all involved.

I am passionate about working with women, parents and children. I walk alongside women as they struggle with relationships or difficult life transitions. I assist parents in exploring new techniques for raising their children. And, I also work directly with the children using play to work through trauma or explore behavioral concerns.

To begin, Distance Counseling is offered for clients who cannot make face to face sessions. I believe barriers seldom produce opportunities for change. On another note, I am usually asked, what person is best suited or needs counseling? Honestly, there are many ways and templates (Word document and Google Search) geared to answer this question. Those methods sound enticing. Yet, they operate from the focus of a proprietor. Another clinician may indicate the best suited clients are willing and committed. I don't need the BEST SUITED CLIENT, just those who ask for help. Let's Work Together.

I serve individuals, children/adolescents, couples and families in embracing hope when you may otherwise feel lost. I provide a nurturing and secure atmosphere of trust while establishing a "partnership" with you regarding your care. I provide the type of therapy specific for your need and will utilize a variety of techniques to assist you in your journey. My goal is to educate my clients as to how to recognize their stressors in their lives, the impact on their mental health, how to deal with said stressors, and to learn preventative techniques.

Understanding that for most, making the decision to enter therapy is a difficult step, it is essential that I not only connect and relate, but I provide a degree of noticeable relief or insight within the first session. This is especially true with adolescents, young adults and men, who tend to be resistant at the onset of the therapy process. I meet my clients where they are at, build upon their strengths to address their struggles, establish mutually agreed upon goals, and become an advocate for their overall growth and well-being. I am affirming, but direct in my approach.
