Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or questions about who you are, and hoping to feel more like yourself again? I support adults, adolescents, and seniors navigating anxiety, ADD/ADHD, LGBTQIA+ identity, and PTSD. My primary focus is helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected while facing life changes. I offer a warm, accepting space for your full story. I also support people facing relationship concerns, grief, stress, substance use, sleep challenges, and other experiences that can make daily life feel harder. Together, we can find steps that fit who you are and where you want to go.

My approach to therapy

Sessions are collaborative, welcoming, and grounded in genuine connection. You do not have to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable, with space to be honest, feel heard, and explore what is really going on without judgment.

What you can expect from me

Our work can help you better understand yourself, build emotional resilience, and respond to life with more confidence and steadiness. We will celebrate meaningful progress, work through setbacks with compassion, and create a clearer path toward healing, hope, and forward movement.
