Shy, reserved, quiet, introverted, sensitive. Do any of these words describe your teen? If your teen prefers to be on their own, struggles with new situations, tends to get overwhelmed or emotional, prefers listening than talking, or is easily affected by criticism, they may have this trait. And you may be wondering: "is there anything wrong with my teen?" Let me reassure you that no, there is nothing wrong with your shy, sensitive teen. They simply need a different environment to thrive. And when they have it, they can thrive really, really well. This is one of the reasons I offer nature-based walk and talk therapy.
In my practice, I offer a gentle space where shy and sensitive teens can feel seen, heard, and understood. Where they are accepted for who they are. Where they don’t feel the need to change themselves in order to fit in. Where they can learn about their innate gifts. Where they can learn how to navigate life when it gets overwhelming.
This is a space where shy, sensitive teenagers can finally say “Oh, this is part of who I am. And I’m not the only one with this trait. And it’s okay to be me”. If any of these feels resonant for you, let me support your teen to thrive, in their own way, at their own pace. Feel free to schedule a 20-minute complimentary call through my website or via email.

I believe that the truth emerges when we restore the connection between our mind, body, and soul. Within our sessions, I use somatic (mind-body connection) modalities, attachment theory, and trauma-informed ways of working. I also bring in nature into the sessions whenever possible.
