Supporting your child through the transition from adolescence to adulthood can feel overwhelming. As a parent, it’s not always easy to know what they need—especially when communication feels like a constant battle against screens, social media, and peer pressure.

At Restore Counseling, my first priority is building a strong, trusting relationship with your teen. Once that foundation is in place, we focus on developing confidence, self-worth, emotional regulation, and healthy boundaries—core strengths that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

If connecting with your teen feels like hitting a wall, let me step in and help bridge the gap. Together, we can get to the heart of what’s going on beneath the surface—and support their mental health with compassion and clarity.

I also have a deep heart for working with moms and women. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, burnout, or a major life transition, this space is for you. Many of the women I work with are trying to do everything—and are exhausted trying to hold it all together. In our work, we focus on restoring your confidence, redefining your identity, healing from what's heavy, and building boundaries that protect your peace.

Because when a woman feels grounded, confident, and supported—everything changes.

Dr. Beck joined the practice in April 2024 and is currently in training to become the best therapy dog there ever was. He’s a miniature Goldendoodle with a heart for kids, a love for cuddles, and a talent for reading the room.

Beck helps clients feel more at ease—especially during those first-session jitters. Walking into therapy can be overwhelming, but when there’s a fluffy face to greet you, it feels a little more relaxed and a lot less clinical.

I chose to add a therapy dog to my practice because the research behind animal-assisted therapy is remarkable. Dogs can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and offer comfort in ways that go beyond words.

That said, not everyone loves dogs—and that’s okay! If you’d prefer Beck not attend your session, just let me know. He’s always happy to take a day off and stay home with my kiddos.

There is no nurse to call to come take your teenager to the nursery to give you a break. There are no directions on what to do when your child refuses to communicate with you.

Take a breath - take a break - let me help.
