Great to meet you!

Maybe you're in a season of life where everything seems to be changing. You're starting a career, navigating relationships, figuring out who you are, or wondering why adulthood feels so much harder than you expected. On the outside, you may look like you're doing just fine. Inside, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to keep up. Or maybe you've recently become a mom and expected this chapter to feel different while also trying to find your footing in a completely new version of life, and maybe even wondering when you'll feel like yourself again. If you are in any of these seasons of life, I feel you!

My approach to therapy

I work with young adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, and new beginnings. I also have a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood, especially when that transition feels more overwhelming or complicated than expected. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I bring extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, and PTSD. You don't have to wait until you're falling apart to deserve support. I'd be honored to work with you.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to arrive with the right words or even know exactly what's wrong. We'll figure that out together.
