Helping Teens Feel Safe in Their Own Bodies — and Hopeful for Their Future.
Support for Teens & Families
When a teen struggles with anxiety, shutdowns, or emotional overwhelm, the whole family feels it. As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to watch — especially when nothing seems to help.
But there’s another way.
I help teens reconnect to their bodies in a way that’s simple, practical, and gentle. Using body-based tools grounded in nervous system science, I support teens in regulating their emotions, easing anxiety, and building the confidence they need to move through life with more ease.
Why Nervous System Work?
Traditional talk-based approaches often miss what’s happening deeper in the body. Anxiety, fear, and overwhelm live in the nervous system — and that’s where I work.
By teaching teens how to recognize their body’s signals and shift into regulation, we create real, sustainable change from the inside out.

What Parents Are Saying
“Mike helped my daughter in a way no one else could. He didn’t try to ‘fix’ her — he taught her how to feel safe in her own body again. She’s smiling more. She’s living again.”
“After just a few sessions, my son was sleeping better, talking more, and feeling less overwhelmed. Mike gave him tools he can use for life.”

FAQs
Do parents join sessions?
My sessions are designed for teens to feel safe expressing themselves. Parents are welcome at the start of the process, and I offer guidance for you separately, but sessions themselves are usually teen-only.
What ages do you work with?
I work with adolescents ages 12 and up. If your child is younger, reach out — I’m happy to discuss options.
My teen struggles to open up. Will this work?
Absolutely. This approach isn’t about talking — it’s about working with the body. Teens don’t need to share details to benefit from the practices.
Can I meet with you before involving my teen?
Yes. I encourage parents to book an initial consultation so we can explore what support might look like — with no pressure.
