Counseling for Kids and Teens

Child-led, evidence-based support to build skills for everyday life.

It’s normal for children and teens to struggle with emotions that feel overwhelming. Together, we will slow things down, increase emotional awareness, and practice coping skills that fit each child. 

Through our work together, we can recognize patterns, navigate recurring issues, and equip you with the knowledge and insight to better understand your child’s behavior.

What to Expect in Kids Counseling

Trained in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, I use a sensory-rich approach that brings in movement, tactile play, and hands-on activities to blend creativity with evidence-based techniques.
