A space where understanding begins…

Have you noticed your child is:

  • Becoming withdrawn, tearful, and struggling to keep up in school while actively resisting your help after previously being a high-achiever or “gifted student.”

  • Struggling to sleep at night after lying awake playing out social scenarios or worrying about upcoming assignments.

  • Feeling distressed by missing the “secret code” their peers have to fit in at school.

Hi! My name is Ryann, and I am an Associate Licensed Counselor in the state of Alabama under the supervision of Kaylie Pennington, LPC-S.

I’m here to help your child identify ways to cope, further cement their strengths, develop self-compassion, learn to advocate for themselves, and bridge the gap between you and your child to allow them to use you as a support. I also love working with parents to find resources and tools to best support their child.

In addition to working with teens, I’ve also built skills for working with:

  • Parents who have noticed their own wounds from their adolescent years are impacting their relationship with their child and causing distress.

  • Teachers who feel enveloped by the expectations and emotional load that comes with being part of the public school system.

  • Adults who struggle to feel attuned to their feelings and have lost the ability to listen to their own voice.

If any of this resonates with you, let’s chat!
