Individual Therapy for emotional, social, and behavioral challenges.

Every child is unique, and I create personalized plans based on their specific needs. I also offer flexible scheduling—after school, evenings, weekends, or at a location that works best for you.
My goal is to empower children and teens to rediscover their strengths and succeed in life and learning.
