Welcome to my practice: Counseling Services for Children, Adolescents, and Parents. 

I work with children and adolescents who struggle with ADHD, Bullying, Depression, Eating Disorder Recovery, Grief Recovery, Peer Relationships, Self Esteem, Self-Harming, Suicidal Ideation and Stress Management. I also work with parents to offer support and parenting tools. 

I collaborate with other health care professionals and work with treatment teams when appropriate. 

Play Therapy: 
Play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults. Because of the way the brain develops, children lack the insight and ability to identify and verbalize their troubles. A trained therapist uses play therapy to help children express through play what they can't express in words. Play provides a safe psychological distance from a child's problems and allows expression of thoughts and feelings appropriate to the stage of development.

Adolescent Therapy:
Adolescents are faced with psychological changes that create a lot of confusion in their world. Teens benefit from having a safe place to process their thoughts and feelings. When working with adolescents, I often use cognitive based techniques to help them develop the insight and coping skills they need to get through their stage of development.  ​
