You don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adolescents and adults to untangle anxiety, trauma, and mood challenges in a way that feels safe, culturally responsive, and grounded in real-life change. My goal is to help you feel steadier, more self-aware, and My approach My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and respectful of your lived experience. I believe change happens when you feel understood and equipped. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, we identify patterns that keep you stuck and build real-world tools to support lasting growth beyond our sessions. My focus I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, life transitions, and weight loss. Many of my clients are high-functioning yet feel stuck or overwhelmed. I provide a supportive space to address emotional patterns tied to stress, eating behaviors, and self-worth while building practical tools for lasting change.

I balance compassion with gentle challenge, helping you feel heard while also encouraging meaningful growth and accountability. My journey to mental healthcare I became a counselor because I wanted to help people overcome emotional pain, trauma, and life challenges that often feel isolating or overwhelming. I have always been drawn to understanding how people grow through adversity. Supporting others as they build resilience, clarity, and confidence remains deeply meaningful to me. My goals for you I help you define clear, realistic goals based on your values and needs.
