My speciality is counseling children, tweens, adolescents, and young adulthood. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults, while providing a safe, supportive, and comfortable therapeutic environment to discuss challenges and hopes. There are a variety of reasons why someone may seek out counseling services and regardless of your reason you are not alone. As a child mental health specialist, my passion is helping youth and families increase self-awareness, find balance, and develop a healthy emotional awareness by strengthening interpersonal relationships, improving conflict resolution skills, improving communication skills, while learning and developing coping skills. I believe that having good mental health leads to positive self-image and the ability to work with life changes. In my practice, I utilize a variety of modalities that stem from humanistic and family system lens. I have experience working with children and families who are seeking support for an array of reasons. I have experience helping children and families strengthen interpersonal relationships, resolve conflicts, improve communication skills, as well as learning and improving coping skills.  

As a Child Mental Health Specialist, I specialize working with children, tweens, and adolescents struggling with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, among many other common struggles and have experience working with severe emotional and behavioral issues. As a child therapist, I work with youth and families to identify presenting problems, find solutions, and learn to communicate effectively. I believe in the importance of relationships, both within the family system along with interpersonal relationships, which can be difficult to navigate. Asking for help can be hard, but I support individuals and families through the process of finding solutions to benefit the family unit and individuals alike.
