Parenting a teenager today can feel like walking a tightrope, and the stakes have never been higher. Substance use, social media overload, eating disorders, and self-harm are just some of the struggles teens face, leaving parents feeling powerless, scared, and desperate for answers. If you’re worried about your child’s well-being or watching them withdraw into harmful patterns, you do not have to navigate this alone. As someone who is deeply attuned to the needs of neurodiverse teens, queer identities, and the unique challenges of this generation, I bring a compassionate and informed approach to my work.
With my background in narrative therapy, play therapy, crisis management, & addiction counseling, I have honed a space where teens can process emotions, manage stress, cater to impulsivity (safely), and develop healthy coping skills. For parents, I offer coaching to help you communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, and provide support to your teen.
In our sessions, your teen will have a space where they feel heard and valued, while you’ll gain insights and strategies to support their journey. You’re not just bringing your child to therapy—you’re taking an active step toward healing and strengthening your family as a whole. Let’s work together to turn today’s struggles into tomorrow’s growth.
