Personalized, Strength-Based Counseling and Therapy
for Pre-Teens & Teens
Counseling and therapy for pre‑teens and teens can help young people navigate anxiety, stress, emotional regulation challenges, and school‑related pressures. I offer in‑person therapy in downtown Orlando and Maitland, Fl providing a supportive, developmentally attuned space where kids and teens can feel understood and build the skills they need to thrive.
With over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and families in the school system—as a teacher, mental health coordinator, school principal, and district director of mental health services—I understand the academic, social, and emotional pressures young people face. My approach is personalized, strength based, creative, and tailored to each client’s developmental stage, goals, and personalities/styles, helping them build resilience, confidence, and healthy coping strategies.
Every child deserves to feel seen, understood, and supported. If your child is struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, emotional regulation, or school‑related difficulties, therapy can help them feel more grounded, resilient, and capable.
If you’d like to learn more about my approach and services, you can take a look at my About Me section, the Anxiety and Emotional Regulation for Pre-Teens and Teens page, or the FAQ page.

Common Concerns Addressed for

Grief & Loss- Supporting children and teens as they navigate the emotional impact of loss, whether from a loved one, pet, or significant life change.
ADHD & Executive Function Challenges – Providing strategies for focus, organization, emotional regulation, and success in school and daily life.
Anxiety- Equipping children and teens with tools to manage worry, build coping skills, and foster a sense of calm and confidence.

School Transitions (Elementary to Middle, Middle to High, High School to College) – Guiding students through academic, social, and emotional transitions to support success during these critical milestone years.
Social Concerns (Peer Issues, Bullying, Friendship Challenges) – Strengthening communication, self-esteem, and conflict resolution skills for healthier relationships.
Trauma & Emotional Healing – Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and DBT to help children and teens process trauma in a safe, supportive space.
Session Types and Fees
Therapy for pre‑teens and teens is offered with flexible session lengths and a collaborative approach that supports each young person’s developmental needs, goals, and comfort level. I provide both in‑person sessions in Orlando and Maitland, as well as telehealth for families across Florida. I do not accept insurance, which allows therapy to remain private and fully tailored to your child’s needs. If your insurance plan offers out‑of‑network benefits, I can provide a Superbill upon request. Insurance reimbursement requires a formal diagnosis, which would be included in your child’s medical record.
I work collaboratively with parents to determine goals and will recommend an approach to services based on your child’s needs.
