Many children, teens, young adults, & families seek support when emotions feel overwhelming or life stress begins to affect daily life. I work with clients navigating trauma/PTSD, grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD/ASD, or LGBTQIA+ related concerns. Together, we explore challenges such as emotional regulation, attention difficulties, stress, & low motivation. I provide a supportive, affirming space where clients can build coping skills, gain insight, and develop tools to navigate challenges with greater confidence. I also support families in better understanding their child and strengthening connection & communication. In our work together, we focus on building emotional regulation, social skills, distress tolerance, resiliency, and practical coping strategies so clients and families feel more confident in daily life. I use Play Therapy, EMDR, and DBT to help clients process trauma, express feelings, and develop skills for mindfulness, emotional regulation, and balance. If you or your child is struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where therapy feels safe and approachable. Sessions may include games, activities, and worksheets to make counseling more engaging. Contact me today to start building confidence, resilience, and hope! When I’m not in session, you can usually find me spending time with my dogs, at the gym, or diving into a good book or a new topic that sparks my curiosity.
