Hello, I'm an adolescent and family therapist based out of Sarasota, FL. I am passionate about helping youth who are struggling with intense emotions, difficulty expressing themselves, and who are having frequent conflicts at home or school. I can offer after-school hours, weekend hours, and home visits depending on location. I can also help parents who may feel overwhelmed and unsure how to support their child. These families want peace, stronger communication, and tools to manage stress and anger. They seek understanding and a safe space to rebuild connection and trust with one another.
I specialize in working with adolescents and their families to build practical skills in emotional regulation, anger management, and healthy communication. My approach is supportive and skill-focused, helping clients develop self-awareness, manage intense feelings, and repair strained relationships. I provide tools teens and families can use to move forward.
I know how exhausting and painful it can be to feel stuck in constant conflict or to watch your child struggle. You’re not alone—and things can get better. Together, we can create space for healing, growth, and lasting change. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to support you. My service hours are primarily evening and weekend time.

I work with adolescents struggling with anger issues and/or emotional regulation difficulties. My focus would be teaching coping skills, communication skills, and other conflict resolution skills. The first session would require completing an assessment on how I can help you achieve your goals. We would create a treatment plan and work together.
