Nurturing young minds
There are moments in a young person’s life when the world feels too big, emotions too heavy, and challenges too daunting to face alone. From school pressures and social struggles to anxiety, depression, or navigating life changes, therapy can offer a guiding light during these formative years.
As a trained Integrative Psychotherapist, I bring a compassionate and adaptable approach to meet the unique needs of children and teens. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of their challenges and equip them with the tools to build confidence, resilience, and emotional balance.
I understand how important trust and connection are, especially with young clients. My goal is to create a safe, understanding space where they feel truly seen and heard, empowering them to share openly and work towards healing at their own pace.
Let’s work together to help your child navigate life’s hurdles and grow into their fullest potential. You’ll find not just a therapist but a supportive partner in their journey to a brighter, stronger future.

Why consider therapy for your Child/Teen?

Proven Techniques
Using evidence-based methods adapted for children and adolescents, therapy can help them navigate life’s hurdles, develop healthy coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. These techniques are designed to be engaging and effective for their age and stage of development.
Safe and Understanding Environment
Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgmental space where your child or teen can express themselves freely. It’s a place where they feel seen, heard, and supported without fear of criticism—something crucial for their emotional wellbeing.
Flexible Scheduling for Busy Families
Life can be hectic, especially for families balancing school, extracurriculars, and work. Therapy sessions can be scheduled to fit your family’s routine, with options for in-person or online appointments (age apropriate) for added convenience.
