Is This for You?

Academic stress therapy in Forest Grove and online across Oregon, for tweens, teens, and young adults buckling under school pressure. When grades feel like your whole worth and the to-do list never ends, it is no wonder you feel stretched thin.

This is a space to set the pressure down and find a healthier relationship with school, one where you matter more than any test score.

Tweens & Teens (10+)

Specialized support for young people navigating identity, relationships, and the complexities of growing up.

Adults

A collaborative space to break old patterns, process experiences, and build the life you envision.

Parents

Guidance and support for parents seeking help for their children or navigating family dynamics.

What It Can Look Like

Test anxiety

Freezing, blanking, or spiraling before and during exams

Overwhelm

A workload that feels impossible to start, let alone finish

Perfectionism

Tying your worth to grades and fearing anything less than the best.

Burnout

Exhaustion, dread, and losing interest in school and the things you enjoy.

How I Can Help

We tackle both the practical and the emotional. I help with realistic routines and study habits using motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy to quiet the pressure and perfectionism that fuel the stress. Mindfulness gives students tools for the moment a test or deadline hits.

This connects closely with teen therapy, and for students with ADHD we build in the right support. When worry spreads beyond school, anxiety therapy helps with the bigger picture.

“Every person’s journey is unique. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you discover your own path forward.”

Mindfulness

Learning to stay grounded in the present moment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identifying and shifting patterns that no longer serve you.

Expressive Arts

Using creativity to communicate when words aren’t enough.

Motivational Interviewing

Finding the internal spark to make the changes you desire.

Client-Centered Care

You are the expert of your life; I provide the tools and perspective to help you navigate it.

Individual sessions are $145 for 45 to 50 minutes. I accept major credit cards through IVY Pay, HSA and FSA cards, cash, and checks, and I am happy to talk through sliding scale options or out-of-network superbills so cost is one less barrier.
