Great to meet you!

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, numb or shut down-sometimes even hopeless, unsettled about where you are in life, and unsure of where you want to go? I help teens, young adults, and their families who feel stuck in these patterns and are looking for a way forward that feels grounded and supported. I offer a space to understand unhelpful patterns, explore emotional experiences, and begin finding ways to handle life that feel more intentional and manageable.

My approach to therapy

I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy, drawing on clinical training and lived experience. We work together to better understand your experiences, reduce overwhelm, and help you shift unhelpful patterns. I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, respected, and understood.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will focus on what prompted you to seek therapy and what you want to get out of it. I always tell clients that I feel honored to hear their personal story and collaborate with them on their goals. You can expect to feel a genuine interest from me that is non-judgmental. As we get to know each other we will start mapping out a plan for our work together. I encourage my clients to ask me any questions they have at any time in the process.
