I am currently accepting new clients for therapy and psychological evaluations.

Strong emotions can be challenging to manage. You may have noticed your child/teen becoming “moody” or having outbursts like arguing, slamming doors, or throwing things. These reactions can seem to come out of nowhere. You might be feeling like you're walking on eggshells around your child/teen. They may say that no one understands their emotions. Sometimes, they may even say that they want to hurt others or themselves.

Or perhaps you are a young adult who has wrestled with controlling your emotions and/or behaviors. People have told you that you are “overreacting” or that your emotions are “too intense”. This may have led to arguments or even fall outs in your relationships. You may even feel like your emotions are controlling you and your behavior.

Or maybe you or your child/teen experienced a traumatic or very stressful event. You have tried to resume your normal life, but you (or your child/teen) don’t feel the same. You feel on-edge, down, and disconnected. You often find yourself thinking about the traumatic experience, or you try to avoid thinking about it and reminders of it. People have told you to “move on” or “get over it”, but you feel stuck with the experience.

I have expertise in treating individuals with all of these concerns. I use evidence-based treatments to treat a range of mental health concerns, with a focus in treating older children, teens, and young adults who:

• Have experienced trauma or major life stressors

• Are experiencing mood concerns, such as depression, mood swings, and irritability

• Have difficulties controlling their emotions and behaviors

I incorporate a strengths-based and culturally-responsive approach to tailor evidence-based treatments to meet the individual needs of each client.
