You know your child (or maybe it's you) is smart, sensitive, and working hard to hold it all together, but something's not clicking. Maybe it's anxiety that shows up as stomachaches or meltdowns. Maybe it's the exhausting effort of masking to fit in, followed by burnout no one else sees. Maybe it's a teen who feels like they don't know who they are anymore, or a young adult navigating the leap into independence with more self-doubt than confidence.
I work with kids, teens, young adults, and parents on anxiety, depression, identity exploration, self-esteem, and the challenges tied to neurodivergence — including masking, social burnout, and related trauma. I'm trained in EMDR and use it with clients across the age range to address trauma, low self-esteem, and attachment ruptures.
My approach is collaborative and relationship-focused. Together, we can figure out what's really going on beneath the anxiety or shutdown, and build tools that fit your life, not a template. If you're ready to stop masking and start being understood, reach out for a free consultation.
