Parents/Teens: As a parent, you’ve always been your child’s biggest support, but lately, things have felt different. They’ve become more withdrawn, anxious, and seem to struggle with interactions that once came naturally. You’ve noticed them avoiding social situations, feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts, or appearing more down than usual. It’s hard not to worry that what they’re going through is more than just the usual stress of adolescence.

 

You’ve tried reaching out to your child, but the conversations often don’t go as you hoped, leaving you feeling helpless and unsure of how to help them. Even though they may put on a brave face, you can see that they’re struggling beneath the surface.

 

I specialize in helping adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, anger, depression, and other mental health challenges. My approach to counseling focuses on helping them understand their emotions so that they can develop healthier ways to cope. I know that starting therapy can be intimidating for tweens and teens, so I focus on creating a safe and welcoming space where your child feels comfortable opening up, tackling difficult situations, and building their confidence. Through therapy, your child can gain the tools they need to manage their emotions, overcome challenges, and grow into a stronger, more resilient individual. It can also help strengthen your relationship with your teens so you can feel close in a different way than when they were little.

​Adults: 

Lately, life has felt harder than usual. Everyday tasks feel overwhelming, and emotions like anxiety or sadness seem impossible to shake. You might find yourself avoiding situations you used to enjoy, caught in a cycle of overthinking, or feeling like you're just trying to get by. It’s tough, and you’re not sure how to move forward.

I help adults manage anxiety and depression by offering a supportive space where you can understand your emotions and find better ways to cope. Therapy isn’t just about getting through the tough times—it’s about building the tools to feel more balanced and resilient in the long run. Together, we can help you reconnect with yourself and the life you want to live.
