Parents & Caregivers

Raising children while balancing work and family can be tough. If you have days when you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing—or that what you’re doing isn’t enough—you are not alone. I support working parents, with particular experience helping working moms navigate the mental load, competing demands, and pressure to be everything to everyone.

Together, we’ll build on your natural caregiving strengths and develop practical, proven strategies for challenging moments. We can also explore how your own experiences influence your parenting and find ways to make room for your needs alongside your family’s.

As a parent or caregiver, you deserve a space where the time and attention are for you. A space to process your feelings, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself. Your well-being matters, both for you and for the relationships you nurture.

Adolescents & Teens

Growing up isn’t easy. Adolescents and teens face unique pressures—from academic stress and social challenges to anxiety, identity exploration, and changing emotions. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.

Every teen is unique, and so is my approach. Sessions can include open conversation, structured activities, or practical skill-building, depending on their needs and comfort level. When appropriate, I collaborate with parents and caregivers to support progress while respecting the teen’s privacy and growing independence.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Anxiety and stress management

  • Building self-esteem and confidence

  • Exploring identity and understanding emotions

  • Coping with grief or major life changes

  • Navigating friendships and peer relationships

  • Developing coping, communication, and problem-solving skills

If you’re looking for compassionate support for your teen, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Together, we can help them develop greater self-understanding and tools to navigate life’s challenges.

  • 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.
