Individual and Family Therapy for Tween Girls

Your daughter doesn’t need to become less sensitive.

She needs to learn that her sensitivity is not something that’s wrong with her.

I can teach your daughter effective coping skills and bring peace to your family.

You are doing a great job, Mama. I know you are.

If you weren’t a great Mom, you wouldn’t be here at 11:30 pm, desperately searching for ways to help your daughter.

I bet you’re googling all the things - self-help books, empowering journals, and support groups for your girl.

Your IG and Tik Tok accounts know you well, showing you all the teen help stuff. But, you’re looking for a real live person in your corner, someone to support both your kid and yourself. (Your needs matter, too!)

Yep, I know you’re dedicated to helping your tween and you’re frustrated.

Frustrated that you can’t reach her.

Or, maybe she’s overly emotional and you aren’t sure how to handle it. As a child you were told to “stop crying” or completely ignored by your parents.

But, you are doing it differently with parenting.

You’re doing your best to listen. And validate. And hug. But, even though you’re trying your best, you still get triggered by her behavior.

You shut down. Or yell. Or slam your bedroom door right along side of hers.

This is really hard, Mama. And overwhelming. Your family is struggling.

But, you have hope. Hope that this will get better. That you’ll find the right support.

I’ve spent the last 14 years helping women and girls overcome and thrive in life through weekly psychotherapy.

I have been told I am good at creating a safe, shame-free place to heal and grow.

I have spent many, many hours listening to my clients, learning through courses, trainings, and books, and am getting certified in EMDR to bring my A game to my clients.

I can help your daughter learn healthy coping skills to manage her day to day stress. I can also help her reprocess trauma. And, I can help navigate the tricky and stressful family dynamics through family therapy.
