Children’s lives are complex.  The world seems gigantic to them.  They have ‘big feelings’ that they struggle to control and sometimes can’t even understand.  They want to grow up right now but they also need to feel protected and loved.  And we expect more of them than we realize.

Keith (he/him) has extensive experience working with a wide variety of children, from toddlers to teens (and everything in between). He believes that, at its core, therapy provides a safe and supportive environment to explore life’s big questions about who we are and how we fit into the world around us.  His areas of interest include neurodivergence, sibling rivalries, bolstering self-confidence, treating anxiety and depression, gender exploration/identification, parent coaching, somatic regulation, academic anxiety, and self-advocacy.  Keith feels that the most effective therapy should be individualized, meaning that it is the responsibility of the therapist to create a unique way of working with each client, taking into account that individual’s specific needs, interests and strengths.

A former Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), School Leader in the Young Storytellers Program as well as a father himself, Keith has a long history of helping children meet their challenges through a lens of curiosity, respect, and joy.  An alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, the University of London, Antioch University, and USC, Keith trained at The Maple Counseling Center where he worked with a full slate of child and adult clients.
