You know you want something different—but you’re not exactly sure how to get there.

Maybe you’re trying to figure out who you are, what you want your life to look like, or how to break patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe ADHD, substance use, addiction, relationships, identity, or simply feeling stuck has made it harder to move forward. Or maybe you’ve never been to therapy before and aren’t even sure what you’re supposed to say when you walk through the door.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting therapy.

I specialize in working with young adults navigating substance use and addiction, ADHD, and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. I particularly enjoy working with people who are in the process of building an independent, authentic life and want support turning their ideas about the future into meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, honest, and focused on helping you make progress. Together, we’ll identify what matters to you, develop realistic goals, understand the patterns that may be getting in your way, and explore new ways of approaching challenges. I’ll offer support and compassion, while also giving you honest feedback when it can help you grow.

I especially enjoy working with people who are new to therapy. You don’t need to know the “right” things to talk about or have a perfectly defined goal. We can start wherever you are and figure it out together. What matters most is your willingness to be vulnerable, consider feedback, and try something new—even when it feels a little uncomfortable.

I believe growth doesn’t require you to become a completely different person. It means becoming more comfortable with who you are, understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to make choices that move you toward the life you actually want.

If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start figuring out what comes next, therapy can be a place to begin.

A typical treatment plan is collaborative and tailored to you. We’ll identify the areas you want to change, establish meaningful and realistic goals, and develop practical strategies to help you move forward. Depending on your needs, this may include understanding patterns and triggers, developing healthier coping skills, improving organization and follow-through, strengthening relationships, exploring identity and self-acceptance, and building confidence in your ability to make choices that align with the life you want.

I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about problems. I want you to leave therapy with a better understanding of yourself and practical tools you can actually use outside of the therapy room. I’ll provide a supportive, judgment-free environment while also offering honest feedback and encouraging you to try new approaches—even when they take you outside of your comfort zone.

The benefits of therapy can include greater self-awareness, improved confidence, healthier coping strategies, stronger relationships, better management of ADHD symptoms, a healthier relationship with substances, and a clearer sense of direction. Most importantly, my goal is to help you create lasting change and build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and genuinely yours.
