Kiddos are amazing, creative, and resilient little creatures, even the sassy, defiant, anxious, or aggressive ones.  I have always been in awe of the things they can do and learn, and have always been motivated to help them make the best out of any situation they may end up in.  I believe that there are no "bad" children, just bad situations, bad choices, or bad habits.  I believe that all behavior communicates a need, and I understand that when our youngest kiddos don't have the words to tell us what is wrong, they use their bodies and behaviors to try and tell us what they are missing.

 

I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages and their families to help address all the struggles and trials that come with growing up and with raising our tiniest citizens to be the productive and well adapted humans we want them to be. Parenting is the hardest job you can have when your kiddos are the most well adjusted and well behaved, it is harder when your child is struggling.  Regardless, you shouldn't have to do it alone.  I provide individual and family therapy to children age birth to 18 covering a variety of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges including but not limited to the following:

• Generalized Anxiety

• Social Anxiety and Selective Mutism

• Depression

• Anger

• Stress Management

• Oppositional and Defiant Behavior

• Grief, Trauma, Loss

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

• Giftedness

• Social Skills Development

• Relationship Problems and Attachment Issues

• Developmental Concerns
