I work with children, teens, and families struggling with anxiety, big emotions, and behavior challenges like shutdowns, irritability, or defiance. Parents often come in feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to help, I support you in creating a calmer home, improving communication, and strengthening connection. I also work with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity exploration, including LGBTQ+. My goal is to help your child feel more confident and regulated, while giving you practical tools to support lasting change at home.
If your child is overwhelmed by anxiety, big emotions, or behavior challenges, it can feel exhausting and isolating. You don’t have to handle it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create a calmer, more connected home with the use of CBT, Family systems, DBT, and emotion focused therapy.
If you or your child feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I offer a warm, supportive space with practical tools to help you move forward. Together, we’ll build coping skills, confidence, and stronger connections one step at a time. When you’re ready, I’m here to help.
