Therapy For the Whole Family

You watch your child get more anxious, more angry, less of the person you know them to be every day. You’ve tried different types of therapy for them, listened to all the podcasts, watched all the Reels and Tik Toks, but you’re still left feeling overwhelmed and without clear answers on how to help your kid.

Preteens, Teens, Young Adults

I work with preteens, teens and young adults who are anxious, angry, sad and don’t know how to manage it.

Parents

I work with parents who have tried everything else and are committed to doing the cycle breaking work themselves so that they can help their children.

Families

I work with families who are disconnected, sharing the space like roommates, walking on eggshells and feeling helpless, not knowing how to reach each other.

My Approach

Using a straightforward approach, I meet you where you are to find your coping styles, see things that could use improvement, support you in difficult moments, and help you make the changes so you can live your best life. Middle and high schoolers enjoy my sense of humor and sarcasm while parents and young adults appreciate my honest and direct nature—all delivered with kindness and support.

The People I Help...

Adolescents and Young Adults

I love working with children ages 11 and up, using art, play and nature to engage them and teach them skills to improve their current mental health and future well being. I meet your child or teen where they are, connect with them to build a trusting relationship, then support and guide them through therapy to help them heal and grow.

Parents and Families

Parenting is difficult, even on good days. When your kids are struggling with their own mental health, chronic illness, food allergies, or other stressors, parenting becomes even harder. I’m happy to provide you a space to work through the triggers and patterns that are preventing you from having the connection and relationship with your children that you want.

While my work with your child involves teaching them skills and providing a safe space for them to work through issues, it also involves education and support for parents and families. I look forward to helping you support your child’s therapeutic journey!

The Ways I Help...

Body-Based (Somatic) Techniques

Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Brainspotting: These are techniques that help the brain process stuff. That stuff could be a specific event (like a car accident) or a phobia (like spiders, public speaking or heights) or a daily struggle (difficulty with motivation, avoidance of conflict, etc). The beautiful part is that it is not necessary to share the issue with me, if you are not comfortable with it.

We support the brain in handling the problems, so you can move forward with your life WITHOUT the stuff.

EFT (“Tapping” or Emotional Freedom Technique)

Tapping is a technique that utilizes meridian points like acupuncture does, but with the goal of helping the body and mind work through problems. I use tapping in sessions to help facilitate healing and reduce anxiety, and teach my clients how to use it for themselves outside of sessions

SPACE Treatment

Play is one of the first ways we learn as children. I utilize play often to help kids and teens engage, understand and learn in a way that doesn’t feel threatening, overwhelming or scary.
Art is a beautiful method of processing emotions and situations that doesn’t require language.

Nature has countless benefits to mental health. Simply being in a natural setting can help relieve stress and anxiety. We can incorporate nature into any session, even when it’s virtual.

Sometimes, there simply are no words to describe what we need to express. Play, art, and nature all offer ways to work through those issues without the pressure of talking about it.
