Introduction

Anxiety Therapy for Children, Teens & Adults I Relationship Support Across the Lifespan. Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or relationship challenges? Do you have a child with big emotions who struggles to express what they’re feeling? You don’t have to hold everything together alone. I work with children ages 3+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges. Some clients come because their child is struggling with anxiety or big emotions. Others are adults facing stress, depression, grief, trauma, or relationship difficulties. Using play therapy, I help children explore emotions, build confidence, and express what may be difficult to put into words. I also work with parents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress. Together, we explore your emotional experience while building greater self-understanding, compassion, and connection. My office is a calm, welcoming space where clients of all ages can feel seen, heard, and valued. Outside of work I enjoy photography, reading, puzzles, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I’m also a Swiftie and occasionally bring creativity into session, using art and sand tray. If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect.
