“her soul is fierce
her heart is brave
her mind is strong”
~r.h. Sin

Navigating adolescence can be very challenging.  I am deeply passionate about helping teens thrive in their environment so that they can become the best versions of themselves.  My collaborative, compassionate approach with parents, facilitates conscious, positive parenting to strengthen the parent-child attachment relationship.  I work with parents to help maintain strong connections with their teens while also supporting their increasing independence.  I teach positive parenting techniques so that parents can model healthy communication patterns and have a stronger sense of empathy for their child.  Many of the teens that I work with enjoy the use of art therapy as a means of self-expression and self-exploration.  I have a gentle, calm, playful approach to help teens feel comfortable and welcomed.  I provide a supportive nurturing space that facilitates growth and change.  In a safe environment, support and guidance are provided to;

• Helping teens form a healthy sense of self by clarifying their values, goals and exploring negative core beliefs
• Developing a healthy sense of self in a social media world
• Navigating relationships with parents, siblings, and friends
• Learning how to set boundaries and communicate effectively
• Developing healthy coping strategies to manage anxiety and depression
• Exploring self-esteem and body image issues
