I currently provide support to adolescents aged 14 to 19, their parents of all ages, as well as young adults aged 20 to 35.

Sessions with Me

As a mother of six, with children ranging in age from 14 to 29, I bring a wealth of personal experience in navigating the challenges of raising children in today’s complex world. This journey has deepened my understanding of the teenage experience and the unique language that accompanies it.

In addition to my personal insights, I am also a trained therapist dedicated to supporting parents as they navigate these pivotal years. My office is a vibrant, welcoming space designed to foster both learning and comfort. It’s equipped with snacks for hungry bellies and a variety of art supplies and therapeutic tools that help children express their feelings—especially those who may be less inclined to share verbally. A whiteboard is always on hand for interactive teaching and brainstorming.

I strive to create an engaging environment where both parents and teens can thrive. We explore the world together through diverse methods, including interactive workbooks, films, documentaries, TED talks, and other media. My goal is to empower families to process their experiences and emotions in meaningful ways, drawing from both my personal journey and professional knowledge.

Dear Parents,

I want you to know that I’m here to support you on your journey. It’s completely normal to seek validation and reassurance as you navigate the complexities of parenthood. Embracing your individuality as a parent can sometimes feel challenging, but it is absolutely attainable.

Many of us carry fears that can hold us back, such as:

  • Grudges from the past

  • Painful relationships—both current and former

  • Feelings of shame and guilt

  • Negative self-talk that creeps in

  • Childhood wounds that linger

  • Regrets that weigh heavily on your mind

  • Thoughts that keep you awake at night

  • Memories that feel like burdens

You’re not alone in this. Together, we can work through these challenges and create a path toward healing and growth.

Young Adults

My mission is to help you develop the life YOU want to live—one that reflects your true desires and values, rather than the expectations of others. Together, we will navigate this journey to create a fulfilling and authentic path tailored just for you.

Working with young adults has been both advantageous and deeply rewarding for me. There’s nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a young adult realize their potential and rebuild aspects of their lives impacted by childhood experiences or trauma.

Do you often find yourself questioning your decisions? Perhaps you hear your parents’ voices echoing in your mind. It’s common for young adults to grapple with anxiety and depression, and many feel the need to manage these challenges alone. No one should have to suffer in silence. Even as adults, we can feel stuck, caught between difficult choices and hitting walls at every turn. Remember, hitting a wall isn’t always a setback; sometimes, it’s an opportunity to pause, lean on that wall, and gather your strength.

If college isn’t on your horizon, that’s perfectly okay. Success comes in many forms, and there are countless paths to fulfilling your potential beyond higher education. It’s essential to recognize and value the diverse opportunities that can lead to a meaningful and successful life.

I’m here to support you through these experiences and so much more. With my experience and dedication, I can provide case management and connect you with community resources to help guide you in the right direction.
