Therapy for Youth

Being a youth, teenager, or young adult can feel overwhelming at times. School can be stressful, friendships can get complicated, and relationships can feel confusing. Life at home may not always feel comfortable or supportive, and navigating change and uncertainty can be especially challenging. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—I’m here to listen and support you through it.

​

I have been working with youth and young adults (ages 12–25) since 2007 across a variety of settings. My experience includes working as a high school teacher, youth group facilitator, assistant house parent in a private school, fitness instructor, tutor (math and English), and school-based therapist. These roles have given me a well-rounded understanding of the environments and pressures young people often face.

 

Through this work, I’ve supported individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety (general, social, and performance), depression, low mood, self-esteem and confidence concerns, body image difficulties, bullying, relationship and family dynamics, and struggles with motivation and time management. I also support clients experiencing deeper feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and suicidal thoughts, always with care, compassion, and a focus on safety.

​

I also have a special interest in supporting siblings of children or adults with special needs. Growing up in this role can come with a unique mix of experiences—both meaningful and challenging—that aren’t always fully understood by others. As a former SibShops facilitator, I’ve worked with youth who share this experience, creating space for connection, understanding, and support around the complexities of this role.

If you’re a youth or young adult navigating any of these challenges, I would be glad to connect and explore how I can support you.
