Introduction

With over 10 years of clinical experience, I work with children, adolescents, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, school-related stress, and life transitions. I was drawn to this field by a deep interest in how early experiences shape emotional development and how strong therapeutic relationships can create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in client-centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. With children, I integrate play therapy techniques and work closely with parents to provide clear strategies that improve behavior, communication, and family dynamics. Therapy with me is supportive but purposeful. I strive to create an environment where clients feel understood and safe, while also being gently challenged to grow. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping individuals and families develop the tools and confidence they need to navigate life more effectively.
