Let's be honest...sometimes the world may seem uncertain or even a bit scary! You don't have to figure it out alone, I can teach you skills to manage the anxiety & uncertainties. Do you feel like life is too overwhelming or all of your strategies just aren't working anymore? Does your teen have trouble managing their emotions, coping with stress, or just seems lost? Have you noticed your son/daughter is more anxious, irritable, or withdrawn? Or is anxiety causing chaos in your family? I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, especially those that impact family relationships, and OCD.
I am trained in treating anxiety disorders (of all types!) and will teach you or your child skills to become unstuck from their fears and start living life again. I have experience working in public schools and am happy to collaborate with your child's school. Whether it's school refusal, fear of judgment/criticism, anxiety, depression, or lack of confidence let's start making changes together.
I am also one of a handful of therapists in the area that is trained in a newer approached called, SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). SPACE is a parent based approach for anxious childhood. What does that mean? In SPACE the goal is to reduce anxiety symptoms in the family, but I will never meet with your child--the work will be done only with the parent/caregiver.
