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.
