Provider information

Description

I am passionate about helping pre-teens and teens better understand themselves, navigate their struggles, and celebrate their strengths. The majority of my practice focuses on youth who struggle with anxiety and big emotions. I help them improve their self worth and self esteem, develop new and effective coping skills, and feel empowered. 

In addition I offer emotion focused parent coaching and support. I can help parents better understand themselves in order to better understand and support their kids and teens. I can also support parents with burnout, overwhelm, adjustment to this new stage
