Who I work with
For parents
Helping an anxious child, even when they won't come to therapy. You'll leave with a plan.
For adults
Anxiety, low mood, burnout, and big transitions. Practical help at a pace that fits.
Before I was a therapist, I was a teacher. I've seen how anxiety shows up at 8:05 on a Monday morning, and I know how much a kid (and a parent) can change with the right support.

For parents of anxious kids
You don't have to bring your child.
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a program from the Yale Child Study Center that works with parents only. Over a series of sessions you'll learn to respond to anxiety with support and confidence, so it stops running the house.
