About My Clients

Regardless of how old your child is, parenting can be really hard. When your child is struggling, it can leave you feeling helpless. Having tried everything in your power to help them, you may feel exhausted and confused. Their behaviors seemed to have changed overnight, or they've told you something's wrong. You're just not sure what to do. Now you find yourself reaching out for a counselor that your child can feel comfortable with, and one who provides you with guidance and reassurance.

My Background and Approach

Imagine if your child had a better understanding of what they’re going through. What if they knew how to manage heavy feelings and communicate more with you and others? Relationships at home and school would improve, they’d have more confidence, and you’d be able to connect more as a family. You would have the tools and ability to help them in the future. I work from a strengths-based perspective, which means I'm constantly highlighting the potential and abilities of my clients and their families. I want your child to feel valued and secure in their counseling experience, and I want you to feel empowered that you can help your child.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Participating in counseling is an act of hope and I'm inspired by the display of vulnerability. I'm honored for the opportunity to work with you, your child, or teen. I offer after-school and evening hours, as well as the convenience of telehealth so you can avoid the pressure of a commute time.
