Child and Teen Psychotherapy

Every child is unique. Even though things might seem okay from the outside, there are times when you need additional support. I conduct therapy with children and teens aged five through 17. I use a client centered, strengths based approach to empower clients leverage their strengths to meet their treatment goals. I have expertise in treating anxiety disorders and generally supporting children and teens experiencing difficulties with adjustment and life changes. I specialize in working with neurodivergent children and teens with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disorders, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Child and teen therapy involves both the youth and their legal guardian. While children and teens deserve privacy and a safe space where they can share their experience, I involve parents in therapy as appropriate throughout treatment depending on the client's age, needs, goals, and presenting challenges. I am trained in cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and play therapy and integrate these modalities to provide individualized, effective treatment.
