About My Clients

Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, low self-esteem, school stress, or friendships? Maybe they worry constantly, become overwhelmed easily, shut down when things feel difficult, or just don't seem like themselves lately. I work with children, teens, and young adults who need a supportive place to feel understood while building practical skills to manage emotions, strengthen confidence, improve relationships, and handle everyday challenges.

My Background and Approach

Together, we can work on understanding emotions, building coping skills, improving communication, and finding strategies that make home, school, and relationships feel more manageable. Finding the right therapist for your child, or yourself as a young adult, can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a comfortable, genuine, judgment-free space while helping clients make meaningful progress outside of therapy. I offer in-person and virtual appointments, including afternoon and evening availability.
