Child Therapist

When a child has fears or worries that are impairing their lives, parents often out of love, unwittingly aid the anxiety and make it grow more robust. Anxiety left untreated is a predictor of depression in adolescence and young adulthood. 

I work with caregivers to help you know how to break unhelpful patterns in service to your child’s anxiety. Together we will find the language that treats your child with warmth but supports them in doing the work needed to manage their worries so they can live the childhood they should be living. We only have one childhood, let’s make your child’s the best it can be.

I also help all parents manage difficult behaviors and form better connections with their children.

How I Work With Parents and Children

Fight or flight reactions work to save us in life threating situations, but when they happen on a daily basis they keep us from living. My work is built on an understanding of how the brain and body work together. This approach recognizes that the brain changes over time with consistency and repetition.
