I just don't bring the credentials; I bring lived experience, deep empathy, and a heart for children who feel things big and parents who are doing their best to hold it all together.  My work is rooted in both evidence-based practices and a belief that healing starts with connection. 

I create a space where your child feels safe to be themselves and where you feel supported, not judged.  You'll get real strategies, not just theories - tools you can use in everyday moments, even messy ones. 

When we work together, you're not just getting help.  You're getting someone who truly sees your child and walks with you - step by step, with warmth, honesty, and care.   Because your child deserves to be understood.  And you deserve support that actually feels supportive.

Counseling for Children and Teens

Big feelings don't come with instructions.  And for many kids and teens, emotions like anxiety, anger, sadness, or confusion can fee overwhelming - especially when they don't yet have the words to explain what is going on inside.  Sometimes those feelings come out in ways that are hard to understand, outbursts, withdrawal, sibling struggles, or shutting down at school.  And sometimes, parents are left wondering,
  "What's really going on.  How do I help?"

That's where this work begins. 

In counseling, I offer a warm, grounded space where children and teens can explore their feelings without fear or shame.  Using a blend of play, conversation, creativity, and evidence based tools, I meet each child exactly where they are.  We work together to build emotional awareness, coping strategies, and self-trust so they can feel more confident in their world.

But this isn't just about the child.  It's about the parent, too. 

I partner closely with caregivers, offering insights, encouragement, and practical tools so you feel empowered to support your child through the ups and downs.  You won't be left guessing or going it alone. 

Whether your child is navigating anxiety, anger, social struggles, big life changes, of just needs a safe place to land, this is a place where healing begins and connection grows. 

You're not failing.  You're just facing something hard and I'm here to help you through it.

When a child struggles with learning, focus, or school-related anxiety, it doesn't just affect their grades, it impacts their confidence, their relationships, and their belief in themselves.  Many kids begin to think they're "behind." "bad at school," or "simply not good enough."  And that can hurt deeply, even if they don't say it out loud. 

Educational therapy is more than tutoring.  It's a specialized compassionate approach that blends academic support with emotional understanding.  I work with children and teens who are navigating learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and school-related stress.  Together, we create a plan that addresses both how they learn and how they feel about learning. 

We work on things like: 
  • Strengthening attention, memory, and organization
  • Building confidence in reading, math, or writing
  • Managing frustration and anxiety around schoolwork
  • Creating strategies for homework and classroom success
  • Developing emotional resilience when things feel hard

But more than that, educational therapy helps kids begin to believe in themselves again. 

Each session is personalized, supportive, and paced just right for your child.  I meet them where they are, celebrate every small win, and gently guide them toward growth - without pressure or shame.  

Let's work together to help your child thrive, both in and out of the classroom.

Wondering if your child might be on the Autism Spectrum? 

If you've noticed your child struggling with communication, social interactions, or repetitive behaviors, and you find yourself wondering, "Is this something more?" - you're not alone.   Trusting your instincts is the first step, and I'm here to help you find clarity and direction. 

I offer the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS-3) - a trusted, research based screening tool designed to help identify the presence and severity of autism spectrum characteristics in children and teens. 

The tool assesses key areas, including: 
  • Restrictive, Repetitive Behaviors
  • Social Interaction 
  • Social Communication
  • Emotional Responses 
  • Cognitive Style 
  • Maladaptive Speech 

Following the screening, you'll receive a detailed, personalized treatment plan that breaks down the results in a clear, compassionate way and offers next steps tailored to your child's unique needs - whether that includes educational supports, therapy recommendations, or at-home strategies. 

You don't have to walk this road alone or stay stuck in the worry of "what if."

Does your child struggle to stay focused, organized, or manage emotions? 

If getting through homework ends in tears, transitions are always a battle, or your child seems constantly distracted, disorganized, or emotionally overwhelmed, it might not be defiance.  It might be executive function challenges,  And you're not imaging it. 

The BRIEF-2 (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function) is a trusted, research based tool that helps identify strengths and struggles in the brain's self-management system - often linked to ADHD, anxiety, and learning differences. 

This screening assesses key areas of executive functioning, including:  Inhibition, Emotional Control, Working Memory, Initiation, Planning and Organization, Self-Monitoring, Flexibility, and Task Monitoring. 

After the screening, you'll receive a detailed personalized report that clearly explains your child's executive functioning profile and offers practical targeted strategies to support them at home, in school, and beyond. 

This is more than a checklist - it's a roadmap toward understanding and real change.
