ABOUT THE THERAPIST
Individual therapy for children and teens.
Whether a child feels stuck, misunderstood, or overwhelmed, I offer a safe, warm, accepting and supportive space for them to express themselves and find tools to thrive.
I specialize in working with kids and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges.
As a therapist, my role is to provide a supportive and accepting space where kids and teens can work through challenges like anxiety, depression, and behavioral struggles and bullying. I focus on building strong relationships and use a blend of motivational and behavioral approaches to help clients develop emotional resilience, self-confidence, and practical coping skills. I also collaborate with parents when appropriate to foster better communication and cooperation at home, ensuring positive, lasting change.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment and to use them as tools to help them to make changes in their lives that are consistent with their values. It is based on the idea that by changing the way we think about our inner experiences, we can reduce emotional distress and increase our sense of well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.
Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian Therapy)Person-centered therapy, or Rogerian therapy, was developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940’s. It is a form of talk therapy that emphasizes the importance of providing psychological safety, unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding to clients. This type of therapy is based on the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for self-actualization and self-understanding and that the therapist's role is to provide a supportive environment in which this process can take place. Through the use of active listening, open-ended questions, and non-judgmental reflection, the therapist helps the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and accepting environment. By doing so, clients are able to gain insight into their issues, develop a greater understanding of themselves, and work towards personal growth.
