CHILDREN, TEENS & FAMILY THERAPY
Support that helps your child feel safe, understood, and connected again.
You’ve been carrying a lot as a parent.
Maybe your child is acting differently and you’re not sure why. Maybe you’ve noticed emotional outbursts, withdrawal, anxiety, trouble at school, or big changes in their behavior. Or maybe a recent transition divorce, loss, trauma, or family stress has overwhelmed your whole household.
It’s hard to watch your child struggle. It’s even harder when you’re doing your best and still feeling unsure, exhausted, or alone. You might be trying to hold your family together while managing your own emotions and responsibilities.
You’ve been hoping things would get better with time, but you know your child needs more support and so do you.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
• Constant worries about your child’s behavior, emotions, or school performance
• Feeling unsure what they need or how to help
• Watching your child withdraw, shut down, or act out
• Conflict, tension, or disconnection within the family
• Navigating family transitions or trauma without a roadmap
• Carrying cultural, generational, or immigration stress that impacts the whole household
How I Can Help
I offer a warm, trauma-informed space where children, teens, and families can explore emotions, strengthen connection, and build healthier patterns together. Using evidence-based approaches like Play Therapy, TF-CBT, ACT, PCIT, and EMDR (when appropriate), I tailor therapy to your child’s developmental needs and your family’s unique story.
We look at what your child is feeling, what your family has been carrying, and how experiences like trauma, cultural expectations, immigration, or life transitions may be shaping behaviors. Instead of blaming or shaming, we focus on understanding, healing, and reconnecting — step by step.
Family therapy isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about creating a safer, stronger foundation for everyone.
Imagine if your family could…
✓ Have more calm, communication, and connection
Your child could feel safe expressing themselves, and you’d have tools to navigate emotions and conflict with more confidence and understanding.
✓ Understand what’s underneath the behaviors
Instead of reacting to outbursts or shutdowns, you could understand your child’s nervous system, triggers, and needs and respond with clarity instead of frustration.
✓ Feel supported through transitions, trauma, or stressful changes
Your family could move through difficult seasons with more grounding, safety, and compassion, with a therapist who understands culture, trauma, and the unique pressures families face.

That’s okay. Many teens enter therapy feeling guarded or unsure. I take a gentle, relationship-based approach that helps them feel comfortable at their own pace. They don’t have to open up right away for therapy to be effective.

Yes. Many of the families I support are navigating trauma, generational stress, cultural expectations, or the challenges of migration. My approach honors your culture, your family history, and your lived experiences.
