Is your child or adolescent overly anxious as they struggle with low-self esteem and a lack of confidence? You may be observing them figuring out who they are and are exploring different facets of their identity, including questions around gender, sexuality, and how they express themselves in their clothing choices. During this process, they may be having difficulty making or maintaining positive relationships with those around them. At home or school, overwhelming feelings of worry and frustration are becoming harder to deal with and your child is in need of support. I can support your child to thrive through all of these changes.
Through storytelling, art and play, I offer therapy for children and youth to help them through challenges and build a stronger connection to the person they are. We’ll explore their values and work on boundary setting so they can make better choices in the face of social or emotional challenges, and establish healthier ways to cope with big emotions.
Navigating all stages of your child's development with more confidence and security is something your child can achieve. We’ll work on reducing anxiety and increasing well-being for a happier transition to the person they are becoming. I support children 3+ and couples.

I like to customize the treatment approach to what works best for the client or family that I am working with. Every client and family is unique and therefore a customizable approach optimizes the work that we will be able to do together in therapy. The approach that works best also depends on your time commitment outside of sessions, personality, and your learning style.
