Have you noticed your child seems more anxious, withdrawn, frustrated, or overwhelmed lately? Maybe they shut down when you try to talk, or you’re not quite sure how to help anymore.

I primarily work with adolescents who are having a hard time managing emotions or navigating everyday challenges, while giving them a space to talk openly, better understand what’s going on, and learn healthier ways to cope.

I use a strengths-based approach and incorporate DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing based on each client’s individual needs. Together, we may work on understanding emotions, managing difficult thoughts and feelings, improving coping and communication skills, and finding healthier ways to respond when life feels overwhelming.

I don’t see myself as the “all-knowing expert” with every answer. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we get curious and explore what’s going on.
