Great to meet you!

Parenting a child who's struggling, whether with attention difficulties, anxiety, or just making it through the day, can leave you feeling like you're out of answers. I specialize in child counseling, parenting support, and coping skills, with certifications in Positive Parenting and ADHD clinical services as well as coaching. I work with individuals and families, and I also offer a spiritual/Christian perspective for clients who want their faith woven into care. My passion is helping people grow through difficulty, not just manage it.

My approach to therapy

Our work together is about helping you and your family build connection and real skills, not just get through the week. With kids, that often means sessions that feel playful and natural rather than clinical, so they can open up in a way that works for them. With parents, we'll focus on tools you can actually use at home, things that build your confidence instead of adding one more thing to manage. My goal is for you to walk away growing through this, not just coping with it.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll talk through what brought you in and what you're hoping changes, for you or for your family. I'll ask about your history, your strengths, and who's supporting you so the plan we build actually fits your life. If you're ready to stop managing on your own and start building something that works, I'd love to hear from you.
