Hi, I’m Regina, a child centered therapist who loves helping kids feel understood, supported, and capable. I use a mix of CBT, DBT, strength based, and person centered approaches, but honestly what matters most to me is meeting kids exactly where they are and helping them feel safe enough to grow. In sessions, I keep things real, flexible, and kid friendly. That might look like problem solving together, practicing coping skills, using creativity or play, or just giving kids space to talk about what’s going on in their world. I focus on helping them build confidence, emotional regulation, and the tools they need to handle tough moments. I also believe therapy works best when we’re a team. I partner closely with parents and caregivers, so kids feel supported not just in the therapy room, but at home, at school, and everywhere else life takes them. My goal is always to help families feel more connected and empowered. I work with kids and teens dealing with anxiety, big feelings, school stress, self esteem struggles, and everyday challenges. No matter what brings them in, I want every child to walk away feeling seen, heard, and capable of taking on the world.
