Is your child or teen struggling with focus, worry, emotions, or school stress—and is home feeling the strain? I provide online therapy and parent coaching for children, teens, and young adults across Oregon and Washington. I specialize in ADHD/executive functioning, anxiety, school stress, and emotion dysregulation/anger, with practical skills for home and school. Sessions are structured, skills-based, and collaborative (CBT/ACT + DBT-informed emotion regulation), with parents involved when helpful—especially for "reluctant" kids who didn't ask for therapy. I'm accepting new clients and offer a free 15-minute consult.
I help with ADHD (organization, task initiation, follow-through, emotional regulation), anxiety (worry, avoidance, panic/body symptoms, perfectionism), school stress (procrastination, school refusal, motivation, overwhelm), irritability and anger (reactivity, arguments), parenting (routines, boundaries, coaching skills), and mental skills for performance.
It’s hard when stress, worry, or big emotions start running the show—whether for a child, teen, or young adult, and for the parents supporting them. Therapy can be a place to feel understood and build practical strategies that create real change at home, school, work, and in athletics and daily life.

I specialize in reaching "reluctant" clients—kids and teens don't usually refer themselves—and in coaching young people through college age to use their strengths to cope and build resilience. I'm skilled at involving parents with doable strategies: helping them become the parents they want to be, supporting their child in practicing new skills at home, and strengthening family relationships.
