Who I work with
You may be worried about your child, looking for words for what is happening as a teen, or seeking support for yourself as a young adult.
You don’t need to have the right language before contacting me. You may be noticing a change at home, at school, in relationships, or simply in how hard it has become to get through the day.
I begin with what you know now, listen for what feels difficult and what has helped before, and let the rest take time.
- For my childSupport for children when feelings, experiences, or relationships are difficult to carry alone.
- For my teenCounseling that respects a teen’s perspective while helping them make sense of what feels hard.
- For meIndividual counseling for young adults who want support with what is happening now and what matters next.
- Trauma & attachmentWhen past experiences, closeness, trust, or separation continue to affect daily life.
- Anxiety & big feelingsWhen worry, fear, or intense emotions are hard to put into words or manage alone.
- Grief & depressionWhen loss, heaviness, or distance from daily life has become difficult to carry.
Care that includes the body, story, and culture
Sometimes the body knows something is wrong before there are words for it. In body-centered work, I may invite attention to breath, movement, tension, or a sense of settling, always with choice and without forcing anything.
Culturally respectful care means I pay attention to the family, language, identity, and lived experience that shape your life. You can bring important parts of yourself into the session.
Together, we set a pace that respects safety, agency, and what feels possible today.
Care can begin with a conversation about what is most present right now. A child, teen, or young adult does not need to share everything at once. I make space to notice what feels important, ask questions, and shape support together over time.
- Body-centered therapy
- A way of noticing how emotions and experiences can show up in the body.
- Culturally respectful care
- Care that makes room for your identity, history, language, and context.
