My ideal client is a bright, sensitive child who feels things deeply and thinks deeply. They are often described as intelligent, capable, and thoughtful, yet underneath they struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt.

What they need is a space where they don’t ha
I help by combining deep clinical experience with a warm, relational approach that children genuinely connect with. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities including play-based therapy, CBT, ACT, attachment-informed practice, and neurodiversity-affirming frameworks. I tailor each session to the child’s developmental level, capacity, and strengths, e
I understand how worrying it can feel to see your child struggling with anxiety, big emotions, or challenges at school and with friendships.

I work with teenagers struggling with anxiety, low confidence, school stress, social challenges, perfectionism, and identity or neurodivergent concerns. A typical plan starts with understanding your teen's strengths and goals, then using evidence-based strategies like CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed approaches to build coping skills, resilience, and emotional regulation.
