Riverside Therapy

Helping Kids & Teens Feel More Confident, Capable, and in Control

I work primarily with children and teens who are navigating challenges that can affect their emotions, relationships, school, and everyday lives. I support young people and families through concerns such as:

• Anxiety, worry, and stress

• Trauma and difficult or overwhelming experiences

• ADHD and executive functioning challenges

• Emotional regulation and managing big feelings

• Depression and mood-related concerns

• School challenges and academic stress

• Family conflict and relationship difficulties

• Grief and loss

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Coping with life changes and difficult circumstances

• Behavioral and impulse-control challenges

• Supporting parents and caregivers through challenges

My Approach

Therapy with kids and teens shouldn't feel like sitting in a room being told what to do.

I use a warm, flexible, and individualized approach that combines conversation with practical strategies, creativity, play, activities, and problem-solving. Depending on the child's age and needs, therapy may include elements of CBT, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic approaches, play- and art-based techniques, and executive functioning support. 

My goal is to help kids and teens better understand themselves, build skills that actually work in their everyday lives, and feel more confident handling challenges—while also helping parents better understand how to support them.
