Growing up and figuring life out can be tough whether it's the stress of school, friendships, family dynamics, or big transitions like starting college. I specialize in supporting adolescents, teenagers, and families as they navigate these challenges in a place where they feel most comfortable. I am down to earth, collaborative and rooted in genuine connection. Instead of a "one-size-fits-all approach, sessions are tailored to each youth and family. Some of the issues I work with are anxiety, stress, conflict resolution, building confidence and self-esteem.

I combine practical strategies such as cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused, family systems, and psychoeducation. I also creative tools like journaling, art, or goal-setting to keep sessions engaging and meaningful. The goal is to help each youth and family build resilience, strengthen their sense of selves, and feel more equipped to handle life's ups and downs. In addition, I assist the youth and family in utilizing coping skills, emotional regulation, and behavior management. I communicate with BA providers, care managers, school teams and other support staff to assure that youth and family are getting all their needs met.
