I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling designed to help children and teens navigate the challenges of growing up in today’s world. My approach blends emotional support with practical skill-building, so that each child gains the tools they need to understand themselves, manage their feelings, and thrive at home and school.

​

Counseling sessions are tailored to the child’s developmental stage, unique strengths, and current needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) play-based and mindfulness activities are utilized.

Common areas of focus include:

• Anxiety & Worry: Building coping tools, relaxation strategies, and confidence for everyday stressors and school performance.

• Attention & Executive Functioning: Strengthening focus, organization, and planning skills to improve independence and school success.

• Emotion Regulation & Coping Skills: Learning to identify emotions, manage frustration, and respond to challenges with resilience.

• Social Skills & Peer Relationships: Practicing communication, empathy, and problem-solving for healthy friendships.

• Self-Esteem: Encouraging positive self-talk, goal-setting, and growth mindset in pre-teens and teens.

• Adjustment & Life Transitions: Supporting children through changes such as new schools, family moves, or parental separation.
