As a highly qualified and compassionate associate marriage and family therapist (AMFT 137831), I am committed to providing exceptional care to children and their families. With a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in marriage and family counseling from Pepperdine University, and an undergraduate degree from Boston University, I have extensive knowledge and experience in counseling and working with children.

My passion for working with children is the driving force behind my therapeutic approach, which is deeply rooted in a neurobiological perspective. Through my understanding of the critical connection between the brain, awareness of the body, and emotions, I am able to provide effective and tailored therapy for my clients.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am also trained in art and play therapy, which provide valuable tools to engage children and help them express their emotions in a safe and nurturing environment. This creative approach allows me to establish strong connections with my young clients, fostering a sense of comfort and support as they navigate the complexities of their emotions and experiences.

As a lifelong learner, I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the field of mental health and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. With my unwavering commitment to helping others and a deep understanding of children, I am able to make a positive impact on the lives of those I work with.

With a profound passion for supporting children, adolescents, and families, I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT149423) specializing in helping young clients and their families strengthen relationships and navigate life's challenges. I bring both knowledge and hands-on experience to my therapeutic practice. My approach to working with children and adolescents is rooted in a deep commitment to fostering emotional resilience and personal growth. I draw upon evidence-based methodologies, emphasizing mindfulness-based therapy through the lens of an Interpersonal Neurobiological approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-based therapy. Recognizing that each child has unique needs, I tailor my approach to address those needs specifically. By integrating these techniques, my priority is to create a supportive and individualized therapeutic environment that promotes meaningful and sustainable growth.

With experience utilizing creative modalities such as art and play therapy, I create a comfortable, open space where children can express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. These approaches foster trust, open communication, and emotional expression. This creative process allows me to connect deeply with my young clients, providing a nurturing environment for them to process their feelings and experiences.

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, my passion and dedication to the mental health field stems from a commitment to treating children and working with families. I am grounded in the understanding that every situation is unique. I recognize that each child and family has specific needs, and I am always open to adapting my methods to best support those needs in a compassionate and effective way. I am committed to continuously refining my skills and staying informed about advancements in mental health care, ensuring that I provide the highest standard of care. My focus is on strengthening relationships by enhancing emotional bonds within families, fostering unity and support, and addressing behavioral issues to promote positive change, whether they arise from individual challenges or family dynamics.
