Great to meet you!

Seeking therapy is a brave and powerful step, and I honor that courage by providing a warm, non-judgmental space where you or your child can feel truly seen and supported. Whether you're facing trauma, anxiety, depression, or struggling with low self-esteem, I’m here to help you explore these challenges with compassion and curiosity—not criticism.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults, and bring over a decade of experience as a high school counselor into my therapy practice. I understand the complex pressures young people face today and believe in helping them build resilience, confidence, and healthy coping strategies.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques, helping clients identify the root of their distress, gain clarity on their goals, and build practical tools for change. I also incorporate mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.

What you can expect from me

Together, we’ll work to shift how you see your struggles—not as signs of weakness, but as opportunities for growth and healing. My goal is to empower you to become your own best advocate and to feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.
