Young people

Working with young people is one of the most meaningful parts of my practice. The years between 12 and 25 are full of change; navigating school, friendships, family, identity, independence, and often, the first real encounters with stress, anxiety, or big emotions. It’s a time of both incredible possibility and unique challenges.

In my sessions with young people, I create a safe, compassionate space where they can feel heard and supported without judgment. Together, we explore ways to manage emotions, strengthen resilience, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for coping with the ups and downs of life. I bring a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming lens, and often integrate creative, somatic, and nature-based approaches to make therapy engaging and relevant.

I love this work because young people bring such honesty, courage, and openness into the room. Supporting them to reconnect with their strengths, find their voice, and feel more confident in who they are is a privilege. Watching a young person grow in self-understanding and step more fully into their own life is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
