Effective Mental Health Support for Young People in Madison, WI

Sometimes accomplishing your goals can be hard to do alone…

I'm here to help. Through a positive, supportive, and safe environment, I help individuals find more satisfaction in their lives and success in reaching their goals.  Here are some of the services that I provide and specialize in:

Therapy for Tweens, Teens and Young Adults

Being young should be about having fun, but sometimes life throws us curve balls.  I can help you (or your child) set goals for positive change so that you can feel less stress and more happiness in your daily life.  I offer an open, empathic, and safe environment to address concerns.  Guided by evidence and research-based techniques, I will help you to create a clearer path to relief from stress, worry, and distraction. I offer individual therapy from middle school age to young adults (approximately mid-20’s) to address a wide variety of concerns, including stress and anxiety, mild to moderate depression, navigating life transitions, and behavioral issues.  Learn more about my approach here. 

Parenting-Focused Therapy and Coaching

 You love your child and everything wonderful they bring to your life, but the truth is that parenting can be extremely challenging and isolating.  As a parent of two, I get it! You don't have to work through those challenges alone.  I work with many parents to help reduce their stress, relieve their worries, and collaboratively design clear plans for positive change in their home lives.  Perhaps you have a child with ADHD who continually forgets to turn in their homework and is failing in school.  Or you have an adult child with ASD who is having difficulty finding or keeping their job.  Or you have a child without a diagnosis, but who has tantrums on a daily basis and struggles to make friends. With nearly two decades of professional experience working with families (read more about my experience here) and over a decade of parenting my own children under my belt, I can help you with your frustration, worries, and stress related to parenting a child of any age. Contact me to learn if parenting-focused therapy or coaching is a fit for you.

 Consulting and Professional Development Services

Are you a school administrator or business manager looking for support for your staff related to mental health, education, or individuals with disabilities? One of my passions is teaching others and helping teams make amazing positive changes.  I offer a wide variety of consulting and professional development services including team consulting, full or half day workshops, and brief seminars tailored to your organization’s individual needs.   I have extensive experience presenting and leading workshops from national conferences to small in-district professional development sessions, consulting with school and agency leadership teams, and teaching adult learners in-person and virtually.  Call today and we can talk about how I can help your team…
