Anxiety and perfectionism. Does your child or teen feel things deeply? Do they often get overwhelmed by their emotions or tend to be hard on themselves? You want to support them in every way possible, but you’re also feeling stretcheddd to your limit and unsure of what the next steps should be... Let's find a way forward together. I specialize in working with children (ages 3 and up), teens, and young adults who want support with anxiety, anger, big emotions and behaviors, self-compassion, and self-esteem.
I believe we all deserve support to help navigate the waves of life, and my greatest hope is to offer your young person a space where they can be their authentic self and feel seen. Through our work together, they will develop a stronger sense of self-confidence, more flexible and balanced thinking, and skills to handle big feelings in healthy ways.
I also offer collaborative caregiver check-in sessions to support you in helping your child. If something here resonates with you, please feel free to click on "email me" (above) or leave me a voicemail. I’ll follow up to learn more and see if we’re a good fit. I'd be so honored to hear from you!

Sometimes it helps to know a little about your counselor, so here's a little bit about me: I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, was a competitive gymnast, and previously taught elementary school in Dallas, TX. I'm left-handed and an OG Taylor Swift fan. My go-to coping tools include listening to podcasts, organizing my home, reading, taking walks with my pup, & soaking up sunshine whenever possible.
