I am happy that you are here, taking that first step towards your goals. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, women, and men who are navigating emotional regulation, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, empowered, and truly yourself. My approach I use a mix of evidence-based tools—like CBT, trauma-focused techniques, and solution-focused strategies—to support your unique needs. I take a collaborative, down-to-earth approach, and I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling, spot unhelpful patterns, and build practical skills that help you feel more in control of your emotions and your life. My focus I support teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to build stronger coping skills and increase their self-esteem. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that feels realistic, supportive, and empowering for where you are and where you want to go. My communication style You can expect open, honest, and compassionate communication. I create a space where you can feel heard, supported, and free to explore your thoughts and experiences without judgment. Therapy with me is a partnership—we’ll reflect, problem-solve, and grow together. My journey to mental healthcare With hands-on experience in both clinical and school settings, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with clients and families across a variety of systems. This has given me a strong foundation in evidence-based therapy and the ability to build meaningful, trusting relationships. I believe that effective therapy is grounded in strong rapport and individualized care that honors each person's unique path.
