My primary aspiration as a therapist, parent coach, and equity consult is to support children and the systems they grow in. As a therapeutic counselor, I have the opportunity to connect with youth directly and learn more about their inner-worlds and who they are. Together we work on cultivating healing, integrating experiences and emotions, and finding freedom through creative expression. At the same time, children live and learn in larger systems; I find that working with both families and schools are ways to create environmental and system-based changes to truly address the needs of children and teens. In addition to therapy, I offer parent coaching and parenting classes for families, and equity workshops and consulting for both parents and schools.

Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation and we can figure out the best way to work together for your situation.

Neurodivergent folks deserve neuro-affirming support​

All kids need help learning how to regulate their nervous systems in moments of stress. For those who are neurodivergent, what acts as a "stressor" and what is needed for nervous system regulation might look different than what "neurotypical" folks might need. Our society is largely set up to support neurotypical culture, patterns, thoughts, concepts of time, stressors, needs, and the list goes on. As a parent, teacher, or anyone working with young people, it can be tremendously helpful to learn how to better support the "big feeling" or neurodivergent kids in our lives. Whether your child is wired to connect more closely with those who are autistic, have ADHD, anxiety, or Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), or who might not identify with a diagnosis but might still be "big feeling" kids, we can collaborate in determining how best to support diverse needs.  ​​
