Now accepting child and teen clients for individual and family therapy. Parent coaching online or in person.
Growing up can be tough. And while parenting has its joys, it isn't always a walk in the park. As a mom to three adolescents, I understand how hard it is to take care of kids and find balance in your own life. Whether you're overwhelmed by demands, navigating a transition, or feeling painfully stuck, I help children, teens and families find realistic, positive changes that foster harmony and connection.
Together, we’ll uncover patterns, build on strengths, and explore new ways to create the life and relationships you want.
I'm a child and teen therapist and parenting coach. I specialize in behavioral challenges, adolescence, parenting, and women’s issues. Whether addressing family dynamics, strengthening parent-child bonds, or supporting individual clients through times of difficulty, I provide tools to navigate challenges and create meaningful change.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy. We can create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. And maybe we can even laugh along the way. Building trust and connection is at the heart of what I do, and together, we’ll navigate your challenges with care and lightness. I hope you'll reach out—I’d love to support and grow with you.
