Guides + tools
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing whether what you’re experiencing is something you can work through on your own — or whether it might help to have additional support.
I created these guides to offer a thoughtful starting point for teens, young adults, and parents who want to better understand anxiety, stress, or executive function challenges and try practical strategies in a low-pressure way.
These tools are designed to:
Help you make sense of what’s going on
Offer strategies that are grounded in research and clinical experience
Support confidence and independence, not quick fixes
Guides are not a replacement for therapy — but they can be a meaningful first step.
Each guide has its own page with more details and a free downloadable PDF.
For teens, college students + young adults
A practical toolkit to help you understand anxiety shows up, identify key symptoms, and match them with tools that fit to increase control and reduce distress.
Anxiety coping skills
Executive function skills (focus, organization, time management)
A supportive guide to help you understand your behaviors, select appropriate tools to help, and build skills that last.
For Parents
How to support your teen’s anxiety
A 5-step guide based on evidence-based parent approaches, including principles from the SPACE intervention created at Yale University to help reduce anxiety-driven patterns while maintaining connection and boundaries.
When tools aren’t enough
Skills and strategies can be powerful — but they don’t always address the deeper patterns that keep anxiety, avoidance, or overwhelm in place.
If you notice that these challenges are consistently interfering with school, relationships, confidence, or daily life — or if trying to apply tools on your own feels overwhelming — working with a therapist can help personalize and deepen this work.
If you’re wondering whether therapy might be helpful — or what that process could look like — learning more can help you decide.
