Great to meet you!

I support adults and teens who feel overwhelmed but can’t explain why

You may be doing everything you’re supposed to, going to school, working, helping others, staying responsible but yet inside you feel mentally exhausted, irritable, or emotionally shut down.

Many of my clients are the “strong one” in their family or friend group. Others are those who feel drained, easily overwhelmed, or frustrated but don’t fully understand what they’re feeling or why small things feel so big.

In therapy, we slow things down and put words to what’s been building up internally. You don’t have to have the right explanation; that’s what we figure out together.

I work with adults and adolescents who struggle silently, overthink, or carry pressure they rarely talk about.

For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated therapy that respects both emotional healing and spiritual life without judgment or pressure.

My approach to therapy

I use practical tools from CBT, mindfulness, and supportive therapy, but sessions feel like real conversations. We focus on understanding emotions first then building coping skills that actually work in real life.

What you can expect from me

The first session is simply a place to talk without pressure. We’ll figure out what’s been weighing on you and what relief could realistically look like.
