Negative behaviors begin as adaptations-- to help us survive challenging times-- and easily turn into habits and patterns that are hard to break. Together we will help you and your young person develop more productive and effective ways of coping with stress.

Through parent/caregiver consultation and some limited individual work with youth, I help families with:

  • Anxiety and panic

  • Attentional differences and making sense of neurodiversity

  • Emotion regulation (learning to manage feelings without blowing up or shutting down)

  • Adjusting to transitions (such as parental separation, moving)

  • Coping after bearing witness to frightening events (in their immediate or larger community)

  • Confidence and self-esteem challenges (including body image issues)

In general, I believe in working very closely with parents of school-aged children. This will bring you and your child closer and help you know how best to support them. Adolescents tend to need more privacy, but our collaboration continues to be essential as you and your family support your teen's growth, healing, and self-discovery.

Please contact me to talk about the specifics of your family's situation. I welcome all family configurations.
