We have been living through challenging times and in my work I have witnessed increased anxiety and depression in children, teens and adults of all ages. Family life and raising children is challenging in the best of times. For many, it is an important time for self-care and to increase our support systems for ourselves and our loved ones. I have over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist and I specialize in supporting school aged children, teens and families in addressing a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, loss, family transitions, and peer/family relationships. My approach is to build upon the young person’s strengths, teach new skills for coping and communicating, and work on their challenges in a fun and loving way. In my experience there is not one therapeutic technique that works for everyone. I use an integrated and specialized approach to determine the most beneficial modality. I can also partner with you in navigating parenting challenges at all stages of child/adolescent development. Together we can develop your parenting toolbox to address mental health needs and behavior challenges. I can support your increased understanding related to your child’s struggles and needs. I look forward to connecting with you!
