Child, teen, and family therapy in San Diego

Your child is struggling.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help San Diego parents understand what’s really going on beneath anxiety, ADHD, emotional outbursts, shutdowns, and family stress - so your child or teen can feel more secure and your family can feel more connected.

For Parents

If your child is anxious, melting down, or shutting down - and nothing you’ve tried is working - you’re not alone.

And you’re not doing anything wrong.

I work with families to:

  • Help children and teens manage anxiety and big emotions

  • Support teens dealing with stress, identity, or withdrawal

  • Improve parent-child communication

  • Provide parents with clear, practical strategies that actually work

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

You might be here because…

  • Your child is anxious, melting down, or shutting down

  • Your teen won’t talk to you or seems overwhelmed

  • Your anxiety feels constant or exhausting

  • You feel stuck and unsure what to do next

    This is exactly the kind of work I help with.
