Just like any other skill, emotional regulation can be learned. With the right support, kids can recognize and manage big feelings, respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively, and express themselves in a way that fosters connection.

Just like any other skill, emotional regulation can be learned. With the right support, kids can recognize and manage big feelings, respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively, and express themselves in a way that fosters connection. 

I use a variety of approaches tailored to each child’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children, play therapy, sand tray, mindfulness skills, and body awareness techniques. My goal is to make therapy engaging and effective while equipping families with tools and guidance so the growth continues at home.

Adolescence and young adulthood are full of change—figuring out who you are, navigating friendships and family, and managing the intense emotions that come with it all. Today’s world adds even more pressure, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Anxiety, self-doubt, mood swings, or conflict with parents and friends can make this stage even h

Adolescence and young adulthood are full of change—figuring out who you are, navigating friendships and family, and managing the intense emotions that come with it all. Today’s world adds even more pressure, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Anxiety, self-doubt, mood swings, or conflict with parents and friends can make this stage even harder.

The transition to college and adulthood is more challenging than ever. Managing coursework while juggling laundry, eating decent meals, and staying organized can feel impossible. Socially, it can be tough to figure out where you belong while still trying to understand who you are. On top of that, staying positive and motivated in the face of so much change isn’t always easy.

My goal is to help teens and young adults make sense of their emotions, strengthen executive functioning skills, and feel more confident as they step into adulthood. Therapy provides a space to explore challenges, build emotional awareness, and develop the tools needed to move forward with clarity, resilience, and self-trust. 

Every family has its own way of communicating and responding to emotions. Sometimes, these patterns help you feel close and supported—other times, they lead to misunderstandings, frustration, or distance.

Every family has its own way of communicating and responding to emotions. Sometimes, these patterns help you feel close and supported—other times, they lead to misunderstandings, frustration, or distance. By exploring these dynamics, I help families improve communication, deepen connections, and create a more supportive and cohesive environment. When families learn to truly hear and understand one another, it strengthens bonds and enhances emotional well-being for everyone.

Our groups are designed to facilitate the opportunity to practice managing impulsivity, engaging in prosocial dialog, learning flexibility and developing deeper peer connections. This small group environment will help to provide your child with the skills they need to navigate recess, playdates and group work at school while also learning to accept and celebrate exactly who they are.

As a certified supervisor in Virginia with over seven years of experience as a licensed clinician, I provide guidance for future therapists working toward licensure. My background in emergency assessment, trauma treatment, crisis intervention, play therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy allows me to support clinicians as they develop their skills and professional identity.

Supervision is more than just a step toward licensure—it’s a space to explore your strengths, navigate challenges, and build confidence in your clinical work. My goal is to help you establish a strong ethical foundation while encouraging you to discover your own authentic voice as a therapist.
