You’re exhausted from constant battles, worried about your child or teen, and longing for a calmer home where they can thrive. I help families whose children struggle with anxiety, anger outbursts, or meltdowns feel less overwhelmed and more hopeful.
Together, we’ll uncover what’s fueling these behaviors—using cognitive-behavioral therapy, parent coaching, and practical strategies tailored to kids, teens, young adults, and their parents. You’ll learn tools to de-escalate the BIG emotions, build confidence, and strengthen your bond, so family life feels connected and joyful again.
I specialize in school and child psychology, focusing on anxiety, behavioral challenges, and emotional regulation. I offer evidence-based therapies and parent coaching to help children thrive socially and emotionally at home and at school. Together, we’ll build a calmer, more connected family dynamic, empowering your kiddo to feel confident and strong!
I know how exhausting it feels watching your child battle anxiety, meltdowns, or school struggles—wondering if things will ever improve. You're not alone; many parents feel this heartache and helplessness.
Through weekly therapy sessions, we'll ease those tensions, build confidence for you & your kid, and create joyful family moments where everyone thrives.
