New Tide Counseling

Warm, practical therapy for kids, teens, and young adults. Helping students build confidence, resilience, and healthy coping skills.

Who I Help

I work with:

  • Kids and teens navigating stress, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed

  • Students struggling with friendships or social dynamics

  • Young adults adjusting to independence, college, or transitions

What Sessions are Like

First Session:

Your first session is simple and low pressure. We spend time getting to know each other, talking through what’s been going on, and figuring out what would actually help in day-to-day life. I guide the conversation so no one has to come in “knowing what to say.” For kids and teens, I start with a brief parent and child check in, then spend time one-on-one so they can talk freely. For young adults, it’s straightforward conversation about what’s been hard, what’s working, and what you want to feel more confident about. By the end, you’ll have a clear sense of next steps and what our work together will look like.

Therapy with me is:

  • Practical and focused on real-life tools

  • Warm, collaborative, and grounded

  • Flexible for busy school and family schedules
