Helping Teen Girls and Young Women Navigate Life with Confidence and Self-Trust


Whether you're navigating anxiety, friendships, academic pressure, athletic challenges, or a major life transition, you don't have to figure it all out alone.

Through individual therapy and STEADY, my educational program, I help girls and young women develop the awareness, skills, and self-trust to navigate life's challenges.

A Little About My Approach

Growing up comes with plenty of challenges. Anxiety, friendships, academic pressure, athletic performance, and figuring out who you are can sometimes feel overwhelming.

With over 25 years of experience working with teens and young adults, I've learned that meaningful change starts with feeling understood. But it doesn't stop there.

My approach is supportive, practical, and down-to-earth. I help girls and young women better understand themselves, develop useful skills, and build the confidence to handle challenges rather than avoid them.

I believe in honest conversations, self-compassion, and a little humor along the way.


Building Confidence and Self-Trust

It’s Not About Getting Everything Right

Confidence isn't about knowing everything will go your way. It's about trusting yourself to handle things when they don't.

Life will bring challenges, disappointments, mistakes, and unexpected changes. The goal isn't to eliminate those experiences or always feel confident. It's to develop the awareness, flexibility, and skills to navigate them without losing sight of who you are.

Whether we're working on anxiety, relationships, performance pressure, or life transitions, my goal is to help you understand yourself, respond to challenges with greater self-compassion, and move forward with confidence and self-trust.

 

Who I Help

I work with teen girls and young women, ages 14 and up, who are navigating the challenges of growing up, finding their place, and figuring out what comes next.

Some are struggling with anxiety, friendships, perfectionism, or the pressure to meet expectations. Others are adjusting to a new school, preparing for college, navigating relationships, or finding their way into adulthood.

I also have a special interest in working with student-athletes who are managing performance pressure, changing teams, injuries, or the transition to higher levels of competition.

Whether you're facing a major change or simply want to feel more confident in yourself, my goal is to help you develop the skills and self-trust to move forward.

STEADY is a recorded educational program designed to help teen girls and young women better understand themselves and develop the skills to navigate pressure, challenges, and change.

A new lesson is released each week, allowing participants to learn on their own schedule while having time to practice and apply what they've learned.

Through nervous system awareness, confidence, identity, emotional regulation, and self-trust, participants develop their own personalized STEADY plan.
