Children and Adolescents

Childhood and adolescence are times of rapid growth, change, and discovery. These years can also bring challenges—emotional, social, and developmental—that may feel overwhelming for both children and their families. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for young people to explore their feelings, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping.

Parenting

Becoming a parent is transformative, full of joy, growth, and challenges. Balancing work, relationships, and self-care can feel overwhelming, and the arrival of a child—through birth, adoption, or fostering—reshapes your life profoundly. Parenthood can also bring grief, such as miscarriage, stillbirth, or other loss.

I provide a safe, supportive space for parents to process these experiences, reflect on their journey, and cultivate healing. Walking and Talking therapy is available, allowing you to bring your child in a stroller or carrier while engaging in meaningful discussions outdoors.

Adolescents & Young Adults

Adolescence and young adulthood involve identity formation, independence, and exploring personal values. These years often bring stress, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and pressure from academics, athletics, or social life.

I support young people in navigating:

  • Stress and overwhelm

  • Social anxiety and peer pressure

  • Depression and body image concerns

  • Substance use and party culture

  • Career exploration and post-graduation planning

  • Family and dating challenges

Together, we develop coping strategies, clarify goals, and foster resilience. Therapy helps young adults align actions with emerging identities and cultivate meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

Families

Families are intricate systems where each member contributes unique thoughts and emotions. Counseling offers a supportive environment to explore challenges, improve communication, and foster empathy.

I work with families facing:

  • Addiction

  • Divorce or separation

  • Neurodevelopmental disabilities

  • Loss and illness

Through therapy, families can develop healthier coping strategies, resolve conflicts, and strengthen connections. My experience includes work in therapeutic preschools and local school districts.

✨ With compassionate guidance and evidence-based strategies, children and adolescents can learn to navigate challenges, build confidence, and thrive.
