I am a straight-talking, fiercely empowering child & adolescent psychologist with a playful spirit! The parents, teens and young adults I work with can expect to have honest and direct conversation with a little humor to soften the blow. For teens, my only goal is to be an educated guide – the parent will always be the expert on their kid and a teen often already has an understanding of their self. Guidance will lead to the self-discovery and the communication to improve family interactions overall. Your struggle is your strength! My stance with my clients is a combination of finding strengths and exploring how our past may show up in our current behavior. I like to help my clients see that things that may be viewed as faults or failures from the past can actually be untapped strengths and a source of resilience. It’s important talk about how societal oppression (of race, gender, sexuality, income, etc) impacts our ability to heal. Racial identity and the mixed race experience are specific areas of my expertise when working with adolescents and their parents. As a parent, you will have weekly session to explore your own experiences and blind spots that may get in the way of your relationship with your child. As the expert who spends the most time with your child, your parent session will be an indispensable part of helping your child navigate their problems. Schedule a free 30min phone consultation!
