About

Seeing your child struggle with anxiety is heartbreaking. You notice the constant worry about school, relationships, or even small changes in routine. They struggle with academic demands, withdraw from family and friends, and spend hours on screens. You try to help, but you can’t break through—and you’re left carrying the weight of worry, theirs and yours. What you want most is for your child, teen or young adult to feel calmer, more confident, and connected—and for yourself to feel relief knowing they have tools to handle life’s challenges. You’re here because it’s time for a new approach, with someone who gets it and can help. View 6 Photos I help kids, teens, and young adults manage anxiety, stress, and big emotions while supporting parents who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Using CBT, mindfulness, and a collaborative approach, I teach practical tools for coping, confidence, and connection—so families feel calmer, stronger, and more hopeful together.
