Therapy didn’t help

  It made my kid shut down more

My Approach

  • Real tools, not therapy: Practical strategies your child can use right away—no clinical sessions.

  • Personalized 1-on-1 coaching: Tailored to your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals.

  • Build confidence, resilience, and focus: Help your child thrive at home, at school, and beyond.

  • Safe, judgment-free space: Kids can express themselves, grow, and reset in a supportive environment.

  • Flexible meeting options: Sessions available on Zoom, in your home, or outdoors—whatever works best for you.

  • No-risk first consultation: Your first session is completely free, with zero pressure to commit.

How I Support Youth in Overcoming Unhelpful Thinking Patterns

With the right support, your child can build healthier thinking and emotional resilience. I help youth overcome negative thought patterns and common cognitive distortions—making positive change easier for both them and their families.

What are cognitive distorations?

Cognitive distortions are exaggerated or irrational thought patterns that can negatively influence emotions and behaviors. These patterns often develop during adolescence and can impact self-esteem, relationships, and academic performance.

How I Help Youth Challenge and Change These Patterns

  • Teach youth and parents to recognize common cognitive distortions.

  • Use relatable examples and interactive exercises to build understanding.

  • Introduce mindfulness and relaxation strategies to manage stress.

  • Foster self-compassion and acceptance of mistakes as part of growth.

  • Teach assertiveness and problem-solving skills.

  • Encourage open dialogue between youth and parents about emotions and challenges.
