Nope! While I have a special passion for supporting children and teens as they navigate big emotions, life transitions, relationships, and growing up, I also work with adults.

Life can feel challenging at any stage. Whether you're seeking support for a child, yourself, or your family as a whole, I would love the opportunity to support you as you navigate life's challenges and move toward greater balance.

When working with children and teens, I use developmentally appropriate approaches that may include talk, play-based strategies, and coping skills. I also collaborate with parents when it feels helpful so we can support progress together across settings.

Sessions usually include checking in, talking through current concerns, and working on skills or insight that can be used in daily life. The structure may look different depending on age and needs, but the goal is always to create a supportive and useful space.

We will check in regularly about how things are going. If something is helping, we build on it. If something is not working, we adjust together. Therapy should feel supportive, and we will make changes along the way to help it fit your needs.

Parent involvement depends on the age of the child and what feels most helpful for their progress. With younger children, parent collaboration is often an important part of the process. With teens, I balance confidentiality with appropriate parent communication and will always be clear about how that is handled.

For clients who desire it, faith can be integrated into the counseling process in a way that aligns with their beliefs and values. Others may prefer a completely secular approach. Together, we'll create a therapeutic experience that fits your needs and what feels most supportive for you.

While my own faith has shaped who I am, I welcome people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. My goal is to provide a compassionate, respectful space where you feel safe to explore what matters most to you.

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Some people come for short-term support around a specific concern, while others prefer longer-term work. We will talk about your goals and check in regularly to make sure therapy is still meeting your needs.

Yes, I offer in-person sessions in Bellingham and Lynden, and telehealth sessions across Washington State depending on what works best for you. We can talk together about which option feels most comfortable and appropriate for your situation.
