Supporting Kids, Teens, and Parents with a Clear Path Forward

I specialize in working with anxious and emotionally intense children and teens who need more than reassurance — they need practical skills that truly help. Many of the families I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry or emotional escalation, and unsure how to best support their child.

My goal is to provide structured, evidence-based therapy that builds emotional regulation, coping tools, and confidence while helping parents feel more clear and empowered at home.

My Structured, Skills-Based Approach

My work is grounded in evidence-based treatment and tailored to each child’s developmental needs. I focus on helping children and teens learn concrete skills for managing anxiety, tolerating distress, and navigating big emotions.

Parent collaboration is an essential part of the process. When parents understand how to respond effectively, children make faster and more lasting progress.

Families I Work Best With

My practice is often a strong fit for families who are seeking a structured, collaborative approach and are ready to actively support their child’s growth. Many parents I work with value clear strategies, measurable progress, and a thoughtful, individualized treatment plan.

I understand how stressful it can feel when your child is struggling and nothing seems to work. My approach is both compassionate and practical, helping families move from feeling stuck to feeling equipped and hopeful.
