Therapy for Teens and Young Women Who Are Tired of Putting Everyone Else First

I didn’t become a therapist because I had everything figured out. I became one because I’ve always been deeply curious about people, what shapes us, and why we sometimes find ourselves repeating patterns that no longer feel good.

In my early 20s, I was someone who could keep a very full plate. I cared deeply, set high expectations for myself, and was always thinking about what came next. From the outside, I probably looked like I was doing just fine. But I also knew what it felt like to overthink, put pressure on myself, and get so caught up in everything I should be doing that I lost touch with what I actually needed.

Those experiences shaped the therapist I wanted to become. I wanted to create a space where people could show up as they really are, without having to perform, have the right words, or pretend they have it all together. A space where we can slow down, get curious about what is underneath the surface, and figure things out together.

My own path eventually led me to social work and to deeper training in trauma, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, mindfulness, and relational therapy. The more I learned, the more I understood how connected our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships, and experiences really are.

That understanding is at the heart of Moonchild Counseling®. I created this practice to be a warm, grounded space for teens and women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, set boundaries, let go of some of the pressure they’ve been carrying, and feel more like themselves again.

And while I’m your therapist, I don’t see myself as someone who has all the answers. Therapy is something we do together. I’ll bring my training, perspective, and guidance, and you’ll bring your own experience and insight. We’ll figure out what you need from there.
