Kids and Teens
As an attachment trained therapist, I focus on the whole child and family. While I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space for children and adolescents, treating what they share with me with deep respect and confidentiality, I equally believe that parent involvement and support is often crucial to client growth and success. Depending on which issues are presenting, I strongly encourage family involvement—with the client’s consent—as part of the therapeutic process.
I am passionate about helping children and their families using research-based and trauma informed approaches through difficult seasons. My goal is to help reduce the stigma surrounding children’s mental health and empower families with tools and insights to support one another on their healing and growth journey.

What to Expect
Free Consultation Call: A 15–20 minute conversation to get to know one another and determine if we’re a good fit.
Session 1: Parent or caregiver intake session to gather background information and discuss current concerns.
Sessions 2–5: Individual sessions with the child or adolescent, focused on building rapport, creating a sense of safety, and beginning to explore treatment goals in an age-appropriate, collaborative way.
Session 6: Parent check-in (with or without the child/adolescent, depending on what feels most supportive).
Ongoing Sessions: Continued work with the client, with parent involvement as needed to support progress and consistency at home.
