I help people feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward—with their kids, their relationships, or themselves.
My Approach
My Specialty: Supporting Parents, Caregivers and Families Through Early Childhood and Teen Years
I specialize in helping parents and caregivers navigate the complex emotional world of young children (ages 0–12) and the unique challenges of adolescence. Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when children experience emotions intensely or struggle with boundaries. My goal is to support you in building calmer, stronger connections within your family by setting sturdy, loving limits that promote safety, understanding, and emotional growth.
I work with families of “superfeeler” kids—those highly sensitive children who experience emotions deeply and may have frequent big feelings or intense reactions. Together, we explore practical strategies to manage these emotions, reduce daily power struggles, and help children develop healthy self-regulation skills.
For families with teens, I focus on improving communication and strengthening relationships during these often tricky years. Adolescence comes with its own set of challenges, and I help parents and teens find better ways to connect, express feelings, and build trust.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just want more confidence and calm in your parenting journey, I’m here to help.
For Individuals and Therapists:
Beyond parent coaching and family therapy, I also provide individual therapy for children, teens, and adults.
Additionally, I offer clinical supervision for therapists and training for educators and school teams, helping increase support for children’s emotional wellness in schools and communities.
The Modalities I use:
My approach is warm, practical, and rooted in developmental science and nearly 20 years of clinical experience. Every family is unique, and I am committed to working with you to find solutions that feel right for your family’s strengths and challenges.
My therapeutic approach integrates several evidence-based methods tailored to your unique family needs:
Emotion-Focused Therapy: This helps individuals and families understand and process emotions deeply, which fosters healing and stronger bonds. For families, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy supports better communication, emotional repair, and helps children regulate their feelings in a safe environment.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Together, we focus on practical steps and solutions that fit your family’s life, emphasizing your strengths and goals.
Narrative Therapy: This approach helps you reframe and find new meaning in your family’s story, empowering you to create positive change.
