Therapy aims to better understand what's going on in a young person or adult's life that has led to their symptoms. This is done through holding curiosity and exploring early life experiences and family of origin, a person's current context, and identifying current strengths and resources. Together we then build a tool kit of strategies and resources needed to support their care and wellbeing. Therapy takes courage and may at times feel a little uncomfortable so I aim to there, walking alongside the individuals or families I work with.

Stressed, stuck, or ready for real change? Life can feel relentless, even when you’re doing all the “right” things. You’re the kind of person who’s capable and thoughtful, yet lately life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, past experiences still echo, or burnout has dulled your sense of joy. You long for calm, connection, and a clearer sense of yourself, to stop overthinking and start feeling grounded again. You want therapy that’s gentle but real, a space where you don’t have to perform, fix yourself, or feel judged, just be met with understanding and guidance toward genuine change. I'm.here.for.you!

Child Therapists
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
