Parenting a child, teen, or young adult today can feel overwhelming. You might be navigating big emotions, school refusal, anxiety, or behavioral shutdowns—and wondering how to help. Maybe you or your child is neurodivergent, has experienced trauma, or is facing a major life transition, and it feels like the usual advice just doesn’t fit. You’re looking for someone who truly gets it—someone who can support your family without shame and guide you through the hard moments with compassion and clarity.
Before becoming a mental health therapist, I spent years walking alongside families in child welfare, school-based services, and community agencies. I bring a relational, flexible approach to therapy—grounded in compassion, creativity, and practical tools that work in real life.
I serve clients aged 5-adulthood, and I encourage you to reach out and we can have a no obligation chat to see if you feel we'd be a good fit!
