The late elementary and early middle school years are a critical period for emotional and social development. Children at this stage are learning how to manage big feelings, navigate peer relationships, and develop a growing sense of self.

Therapy for children ages 9–12 may support: emotional regulation and coping skills; anxiety, worries, and fears; social challenges and peer relationships; family transitions or stressors; as well as building confidence and self-esteem.

My approach is developmentally appropriate, supportive, and collaborative, often involving caregivers as part of the therapeutic process.

The adolescent and early teen years can feel intense and confusing for both teens and their families. Rapid emotional, cognitive, and physical changes often coincide with increased sensitivity, mood shifts, and growing independence.

Therapy during this stage may focus on: mood changes, anxiety, or irritability; identity exploration and self-esteem; family conflict or communication challenges; peer pressure and social stress; and developing healthy coping strategies.

I work to help adolescents better understand themselves, build emotional awareness, and feel more grounded during this transitional time.

The later teen years are often marked by increased pressure, greater autonomy, and important decisions about the future. Many older teens experience heightened stress related to academics, relationships, identity, and expectations — both internal and external.

Therapy for teens ages 16–18 may address: anxiety, depression, or burnout; identity development and self-concept; academic or performance-related stress; relationship and boundary challenges; and preparing for transitions after high school.

My goal is to support teens in building insight, emotional resilience, and confidence as they move toward adulthood.

Young adulthood is a period of rapid change, self-discovery, and adjustment. Whether navigating college, career decisions, relationships, or independence, many young adults find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain.

Therapy for young adults and college students may support: life transitions and identity exploration; anxiety, depression, or perfectionism; relationship and boundary issues; as well as stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

I provide a supportive space to explore patterns, build self-trust, and develop tools for navigating adulthood with greater clarity and confidence.

The transition into parenthood, whether during pregnancy or after birth, can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly challenging. Many new or expecting parents experience identity shifts, emotional vulnerability, and unexpected stress during this time.

Therapy for new or expecting parents may focus on: pregnancy and postpartum adjustment; perinatal mood and anxiety concerns; identity changes and role transitions; relationship stress and communication; and processing birth or fertility-related experiences.

I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental support during this transformative stage, helping parents feel more grounded, supported, and connected.

I am committed to providing an affirming, inclusive, and supportive space for individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. Clients are welcomed as their authentic selves, and therapy is a space where identity is respected, affirmed, and never questioned or minimized.

My approach honors each client’s lived experience and recognizes the impact that societal stressors, stigma, and lack of understanding can have on emotional well-being. All clients deserve to feel safe, seen, and supported in therapy, and care is provided with respect, openness, and compassion.
