Great to meet you!

Figuring out who you are while anxiety, depression, or an ADHD brain that won't slow down is fighting you the whole way is exhausting. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (with almost 20 years of experience working with young people) who works primarily with older adolescents and young adults navigating exactly that, along with trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I want this to be a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and start feeling more grounded and confident.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and practical. I draw on CBT, mindfulness, and values-based work to help you understand what's driving your anxiety or stress, while keeping sessions grounded in what's actually happening in your life, not just theory.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I take time to get to know you and build genuine rapport before jumping into the work of therapy. I want you to feel comfortable, heard, and able to be yourself, so we'll talk about what brings you to therapy. If this sounds like a good fit, I'd love to connect.
