You’re a caregiver who is concerned about your child’s behavior or moods and you want guidance and support. Your child or teen may be having emotional meltdowns or seems stressed or even depressed. Maybe they're struggling in school, getting into trouble, withdrawing, or having a hard time in relationships with family or friends. You want to feel confident about how to respond - not guessing at what to do. I help kids and families understand what’s happening and move forward in ways that feel better for everyone. This includes support for kids AND their caregivers, including real-life strategies you can use at home.
I support kids, teens, and their caregivers as they navigate challenges related to divorce, ADHD, trauma, mood changes, and school stress. I offer individual therapy, parent coaching, and family-based interventions, working on goals that center what matters most to your family. I strive to increase hope, with a bit of humor often showing up along the way.
Reaching out for support isn’t easy. You’re not alone, and change is possible. Together, we can make a plan that helps things feel more manageable. As a biracial, bicultural provider and LGBTQIA+ community member, I’m committed to compassionate, affirming care. Reach out for a no-obligation call to see if we’re a good fit.
