I work with children, teens, and young adults. There are so many ways a young person or family can get stuck. Maybe you’re a caregiver caught in a loop with a child who has trouble with tantrums, sleep, or toileting. Or you’re a middle-schooler, teen, or young adult who can’t do the stuff you care about most because you’re feeling sad, anxious, angry, or having a hard time getting along with people. Or you might be struggling to heal from trauma, manage health problems, or navigate neurodiversity in an unsupportive world. It’s not your fault that you got stuck and it’s not your fault that nothing you tried has worked just yet. I use strategies supported by science. I will start with getting to know you and your unique challenges and strengths. Next, we will set clear goals, learn specific skills, and take action to bring you closer to what matters most to you. Depending on the age of a child or teen, time may be spent one-to-one with the young person, caregivers, or family. I know that much of what gets in the way for kids and families is out of your control. It's my job to help you get unstuck. If you or your child are experiencing any of the challenges above and are willing to try some new strategies and practice between appointments, I might be a great fit as your therapist. I look forward to hearing from you.
