Great to meet you!

Let’s be honest—life can be a lot. Sometimes you’re doing your best to keep everything together while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or completely exhausted on the inside. Maybe you’re dealing with something from your past, struggling in a relationship, trying to figure out your next step, or simply feeling stuck. That’s where therapy can help. I work primarily with teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can show up as you are—not a place where you have to pretend everything is okay.

I’m EMDR trained and use CBT, motivational interviewing, and strength-based approaches to help you work through challenges while recognizing the strengths you already bring with you.

You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what you need. Just start where you are, and we’ll go from there.

My approach to therapy

I'm here to support you on your journey toward better mental health. In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. We'll work together to understand your challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and set achievable goals. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and improve your overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

I use a variety of treatment modalities in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With a personalized approach, each session will look different allowing me to meet you where you're at while guiding you to where you want to be.
