My Approach to Helping
As a dedicated therapist, I have had the privilege of guiding young individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives. With 17 years of experience in child and adolescent mental health, I’ve been passionate about understanding the emotions and inner worlds of children and adolescents. I specialize in helping kids and teens navigate anxiety, depression, and self-confidence issues, among others. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered.
I believe in working collaboratively, not just with the child, but with their families, schools, and support systems. Mental health is never a solo journey, and my goal is to equip young people with the tools they need to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Every child’s story is unique, and I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for their experiences. My mission is to help young minds heal, grow, and find their strength, one conversation at a time.
As a Certified Clinical Child and Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional, I also provide parenting sessions for parents who have children who struggle with anxiety.
Helping others has been a passion of mine for decades. My first helping role in mental health gave me a deep appreciation for the challenges and struggles that people face day to day. It also showed me firsthand the strength and resilience that people have in the face of life’s difficulties. I especially love working with kids and teens. I have spent the majority of my career as a child and adolescent therapist helping them and their families with many things they may be experiencing: ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-confidence, and more. My therapeutic approach entails building off and increasing the client’s strengths while teaching skills to help improve overall functioning in the areas of home, community, and school.
