There’s no denying that life isn’t always a walk in the park. While I’m sure you can relate to this as an adult, the same goes for kids, teens, and college-age students. Don’t forget, they’re going through this life without a manual, just as you are. But life is also spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the trials faced during any phase of life can often dim that beauty and hold your child back from living the life they deserve. Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can creep into anyone's life at any age. Mental health challenges can rob them of happiness, self-confidence, and life-fulfillment. I get it. I’ve been in their shoes. As an experienced, understanding, and caring counselor for teens, children, and young adults. I can help support your child, whether they are elementary-school-aged, in the turbulent teenage years, or college-aged. And, because I value being an advocate for kids and an ally for parents, I can support you, too.
In our first session together, we will make introductions and then discuss specific challenges you're facing and dealing with. Using this information, we will come up with a plan to best face your concerns head-on and help you start healing!
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, visualization, mindfulness, and more to guide you through your healing.
I take a caring, empathetic, supportive approach to therapy to help you gain confidence and strength. I take great pride in assisting my clients to achieve the happiness they deserve. I fully believe if something is in our control, we can change it, we just need the right tools to get us to where we want to be.
I’ve worked with clients that run the socioeconomic gamut, from children involved in the juvenile justice system with absentee parents to clients living in affluent dual-income households with two involved parents. I know how to get along with these populations and everyone in between. That’s because I treat everyone, first and foremost, as a human being. I respect everyone, no matter what the situation. So, no judgment. Ever.
