Teens
I specialize in working with kids, teens, and families from a relational and attachment-based approach. My goal is to help you foster healthier communication and stronger, more connected relationships.
When working with kids and teens, I focus on challenging areas such as school, family dynamics, friendships, and the many developmental stages of life. I enter their world through the delight and language of age-appropriate play.
Through talking and play, I help children and teens build coping skills, express their experiences, and find their voice. This work supports both the child and the family in moving toward greater balance and connection.
I also specialize in bridging the child’s therapeutic work with caregiver support—offering tailored guidance, education, and tools that meet your child’s unique needs while strengthening your relationship with them.

OTHER SPECIALTIES
“Working with Andy has been life-changing for our child and our whole family. The difference is like night and day. Our son feels seen and supported in a way we hadn’t experienced before. We’re so grateful for Andy’s care and presence.”
Every child/teen is different. Some may benefit from just a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support. Progress depends on the goals, the child’s readiness, and what they’re working through.
How long will therapy take?
Yes, parental involvement is often an important part of the process. I collaborate with caregivers to provide updates, gather insights, and offer guidance while respecting the child’s need for a confidential space.
Will I be involved in my child’s therapy?
The first priority is creating a safe and welcoming environment. I spend time getting to know your child at their pace, building trust through consistency, kindness, and respect.
How do you build trust with my child?
Sessions often involve talking, playing, drawing, or other activities that help children express themselves. The approach is tailored to your child’s age, personality, and needs.
