Great to meet you!

You can understand what you need to do differently and still struggle to figure out how to make that change. Maybe anxiety leaves you overthinking, ADHD makes everyday responsibilities feel overwhelming, or past experiences continue to affect how you feel and relate to others. I work with adolescents and adults navigating these challenges, helping them better understand their experiences and find practical ways to move forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you identify changes that feel realistic and meaningful. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll build on your strengths and develop tools you can use in your everyday life.

What you can expect from me

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Our first sessions are an opportunity to talk about what's been happening, identify what you want to change, and determine where to begin. My goal is to help you feel understood while working together toward greater clarity, confidence, and progress.
