Hi I'm Kenzie! One of the bravest things people can do is to reach out for some help, especially in our child, adolescent and young adult years. Growing up can come with all sorts of pressure, confusion, and judgement, leading to anxiety and other strong emotions. Anxiety may cause us to struggle with communication, lash out in anger, act on impulses, get lost in our feelings, avoid tasks, distract us from success, and disconnect us from support systems.

I support people that struggle in relationships and during life transitions due to their attachment style and their childhood experiences. This not only includes romantic, work, family and friendly relationships, but also boundaries, communication, grieving and acceptance. I help parents who seek to improve their relationship with their children or that want to address their mental health struggles as they parent in an era of high expectations and stress. I work primarily with adolescents and adults in individual therapy, and children (2-8 years old) through family therapy sessions (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and Theraplay).

My greatest passion in life is helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate their own therapeutic journey. As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, I focus less on problematic behaviors and more on identifying unmet needs and lagging skills. I am strong believer that children are not intentionally giving their parents/teachers/caregivers a hard time, but rather they are having a hard time. As Dr. Ross Green states, "kids do well if they can."
