About

Parenting Support: Are you feeling overwhelmed by your child’s behavior or struggling to connect with your teenager? I help parents manage school concerns, challenging behaviors, and transitions like divorce. Together, we’ll strengthen your family’s emotional well-being. School & Early Childhood: With 15+ years of school-based counseling experience, I provide guidance on school-related challenges for children of all ages. I also support families navigating early childhood milestones and behavioral concerns. Adolescents: I work with teens on issues like identity, school stress, and relationships. My approach helps them build resilience and develop healthy coping skills during this critical time. School Accommodations: I advocate for students with 504 plans and IEPs, ensuring they receive the accommodations they need to thrive academically. Young Adults: Whether navigating career choices, school stress, or coming out, I offer young adults practical tools to manage anxiety and create a positive path forward. Couples Counseling: I support couples in rebuilding trust, enhancing communication, and strengthening their connection through meaningful dialogue and understanding. Family Therapy: I help families improve communication, navigate transitions, and address each member's unique needs through a systems approach that focuses on relationships and environments. LGBTQIA+ Affirming Support: I provide a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and families, helping you navigate identity, school environments, and the emotional journey of coming out. I also assist families in fostering supportive, open communication. Let’s work together to create positive change for you and your family. See below for accepted insurances and fees.
