Child therapy
Is your child showing challenging or concerning behaviors?
- Do you wonder how to get your child to listen?
- Are bedtime, homework, or sibling rivalry an endless battle?
- Do you feel embarrassed when your child throws tantrums in public places?
- Are you worried about the verbal/physical aggression or self-injury behaviors your child is displaying?
- Have you noticed a change in your child's mood?
- Are you frequently being called by school due to your child's behavioral problems?
Children can experience multiple problems, but they have not developed yet the ability to communicate it or explain it. Instead, they tend to act it out in behaviors.
If you are not sure of how to help your child or feel like you are at the end of the rope as a parent, it is time to look for professional help.
Being a parent can be a very challenging task, but your don't have to face it alone. I am glad you are here.

How can therapy help my child?
As a child and family specialist, I will partner with you to support your child. I offer a wide variety of culturally competent treatment options and can also assist you in finding community services and resources to further support your child's growth.
The modalities of treatment I utilize to help families have been proven to be effective through scientific research.
As a parent, I understand the everyday challenges related to raising children and I strive to bring targeted and creative solutions to each family.
I have helped multiple children and families to lead more successful lives through the years, not only as a therapist, but also as a clinical supervisor (helping other therapists to become licensed professionals).
I enjoy to support parents and work next to them to motivate their children, so they can achieve functional and successful lives. If you would want to learn more about my career, click here.
My work also includes play and art related interventions to help children gain emotional self-regulation and cope with stress. Doing therapy can also be a fun experience for your child.
Is my child going to be ok one day?
It is important for you to know that receiving therapy at a young age can plant the seeds for a flourishing future.
I was myself a challenging child and personally experienced the gifts of attending therapy sessions.
The tools that children learn in therapy can be utilized later in adulthood as well. Learning to implement strategies for emotional regulation, can prevent mental illnesses in the future.
Attending therapy at a young age can install in the mind the possibility of reaching out for help in the future if needed. Some adults are unaware of this option and fail to receive support in difficult situations.
My approach is strength-based and I believe in every's child recovery and resiliency. I can give you the tools to raise a happy child.

Therapy for infants/toddlers
The first years of life are the most formative in human brain development and have the potential for lifelong consequences, both positive and negative.
it is very important to identify problems early in a child's life and utilize safe, effective therapeutic treatments. The earlier children receive help, the more effective the results will be.
In order to help infants, I implement age appropriate strategies and help parents learn effective parenting skills/tools to manage children's behavioral challenges and emotional regulation problems.
Psychotherapy sessions help children’s mental health while supporting and strengthening primary attachment relationships between children and their parents or caregivers.
