For a long time, I never imagined myself doing this work. I was skeptical of therapy and unsure it actually helped families in a meaningful way. But as I watched anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges increase across kids and parents, something shifted. I realized it was time to stop observing from the outside and become part of the solution.
‍
Today, I work primarily with families who feel like they’ve tried everything. Many of the parents I support are raising children between the ages of 5 and 17 who struggle with defiance, emotional outbursts, shutdown, or destructive behaviors. These challenges often come after years of school issues, daily conflict, and mounting frustration at home.
‍
The children I work with are often smart, sensitive, and misunderstood. Their parents are exhausted, worried, and deeply invested in helping their child succeed. My role is to help both sides slow things down, feel understood, and begin building new patterns that actually hold up in real life.

Therapy with me is collaborative, structured, and practical. I work directly with children to help them develop emotional awareness, regulation, and accountability. At the same time, I support parents in learning how to respond in ways that reduce escalation and rebuild trust at home.

Together, we create a space where your child feels heard and where you feel supported. I focus on tools families can use outside of session, not just conversations that stay in the room.

My approach is trauma-informed and draws from family systems work, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and proactive parenting models. Practically, this means we look at behavior with curiosity, identify patterns, and practice new responses that lead to calmer and more predictable days.
