Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or low-key exhausted from carrying everything on your own? Maybe anxiety, shame, self-doubt, relationship stress, or a major life transition has been weighing heavy. You want a space where you can actually feel seen, safe, and understood—without judgment—and start breaking free from the patterns that keep holding you back.

I work with individuals ages 12 and up, helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, shame, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-worth struggles. I’ve been working with children, teens, and adults for over 10 years, and I understand both the challenges of growing up and the realities of raising a child. I’m passionate about helping parents feel heard while building stronger connections with their kids through supportive and practical parenting skills. At the same time, I support teens in learning how to communicate, manage emotions, and navigate the pressures and expectations that come with being young today.

The most important therapeutic approach is building a genuine connection and truly understanding each client’s story. I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, and Adlerian parenting skills, but ultimately the most important part of therapy is making sure you feel heard, supported, and understood. I listen, I remember your story, and I work with you to create an approach that fits your needs and goals.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy is a space to be real, feel supported, and start creating meaningful change at your own pace. Together, we can work toward healing, deeper connection, and feeling more like yourself again.

My approach to therapy is centered on truly getting to know you—your experiences, your story, and the future you want for yourself. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, whether that means taking things slowly or diving deeper when you’re ready.

I strive to create a space where you can be open and honest without fear of judgment, while also feeling encouraged to grow. Some moments in therapy may feel validating and comforting, while others may gently challenge you in ways that help you build insight, confidence, and lasting change. I’ve found that the most meaningful progress happens when there’s both connection and accountability—when you feel supported enough to explore difficult things and empowered enough to move forward.

During our first session, my focus is on getting to know you as a person—not just your symptoms or struggles. We’ll talk about your mental health history, what’s currently feeling difficult, your strengths, your relationships, who you live with, and the things you enjoy (or maybe have felt disconnected from lately).

I do ask a lot of questions, but sessions are designed to feel natural and conversational rather than clinical or intimidating. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing openly, and building trust at your own pace. The first session is really about understanding your story, what brings you to therapy, and how I can best support you moving forward.
