Evidence-Based Methods for Youth Mental Health
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A goal-oriented approach helping children identify and shift negative thought patterns. I focus on developing practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and social challenges.
Child-Centered Play Therapy
For our younger clients, play is their primary language. In a safe, therapeutic setting, children use creative tools to express feelings, solve problems, and resolve emotional trauma.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Helping adolescents stay present and move toward values-based living. ACT empowers young people to stay engaged with their lives despite difficult thoughts or experiences.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize collaborative conversational techniques to help teens find internal motivation and make positive behavioral changes that align with their personal health goals.
The Healing Journey as a Family
A child’s path to wellness is most effectively paved when walked together. I believe that family involvement is critical to sustainable healing, which is why I offer collaborative sessions designed to bridge the gap between therapy and home life. By empowering parents and caregivers with specific insights and supportive strategies, I ensure that every breakthrough achieved in the office becomes a permanent foundation for growth within your home.
