I work with children, teens, and young adults to help them feel understood, explore their experiences, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. My primary focus is supporting clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I also work with couples and families to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build connection.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s age, needs, and strengths, integrating cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and relational techniques. When working with children, I incorporate play and creative activities to support emotional expression and skill-building, and I am pursuing further training in these approaches. I encourage clients to explore difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, and practice new skills in everyday life. I also partner with parents and caregivers as needed to support progress and can incorporate faith into counseling based on each client’s preferences.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your relationships, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
