Parents &

Caregivers

Raising children can be tough. If you have days when you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing, or what you’re doing isn’t enough, you are not alone. I will help you come up with new and different ways of doing things. I aim to support you in finding your amazing natural caregiving abilities while building your toolbox of proven strategies for those extra challenging moments.

As a parent or caregiver, you deserve a space where the time and attention is for YOU. You deserve a space to process your experiences and feelings that arise when caring for a child. By recharging and filling your cup up, you will be in a better place to support your child.

Together we will explore if parent coaching or counseling is a better fit for your current needs.

  • Parent/caregiver coaching is goal-oriented and collaborative. The focus is on developing effective techniques and strategies that you can use right away.

  • Counseling addresses deeper issues affecting parenting and caregiving. We explore how past experiences are imacting your current emotional well-being and caregiving. You receive therapeutic support to improve your well-being and family dynamics.

  • Primarily online. This tends to give adults more flexibility in their busy days! Limited in-person sessions are currently offered either in my home office or the comfort of your own home (limited to Pleasant Hill and nearby areas).

  • $170 per 50-60-minute session. Limited sliding scale spots are available.

Kids + Teens

Growing up isn't easy. Kids and teens today face unique pressures—whether it's academic stress, social challenges, anxiety, or navigating emotions they don't fully understand. Therapy offers a safe space for young people to express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, using age-appropriate techniques to help them feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, or simply needs a space to talk, I’m here to help guide them toward growth and resilience.

Every young person is unique, and so is my approach. I collaborate closely with families to create personalized strategies that foster emotional well-being and empower kids and teens to thrive.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Anxiety and stress management

  • Building self-esteem and confidence

  • Coping with grief or big life changes

  • Navigating friendships and peer relationships

  • Addressing behavioral challenges

If you're looking for compassionate, effective support for your child or teen, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Together, we can help them feel stronger and more capable—ready to take on whatever life brings their way.

  • Limited in-person sessions are currently offered in my home office or your home. Telehealth is a great available option for adolescents and teens!

  • $170 per 50-60 minute session. Limited sliding scale spots are available.

Autism

If you or your child has autism, chances are you know that finding mental health support with a therapist knowledgeable about autism is hard. I have worked with autistic individuals/people with autism for over a decade and understand the need for customized support. I will tailor my approach to your individual needs and preferences while continuously supporting your self-determination. Together we can explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, or work on developing other skills and strategies. Our focus will be centered on what’s important to you.

  • Telehealth and limited in-person sessions are currently offered (e.g., my home office, your home). We will discuss what you will be most comfortable with.

  • $170 per 50-60 minute session. Limited sliding scale spots are available.
