I work with young children, tweens, and teens to build self-awareness, compassion, and healthy communication. Most of the individuals with whom I work suffer with social skills, anxiety, poor self-image, or impulse control concerns. I use a collaborative style of treatment that includes input from the child themselves, the parents, and other health care providers.

I also work with children, teens, and parents in the LGBT community. My office provides a safe and friendly atmosphere which uses humor and, when appropriate, play to help clients learn skills. We then find fun and easy ways to apply those skills n multiple environments and set children up for success with attainable and concrete goals and reinforcement.
