Great to meet you!

If you’ve been carrying stress, trauma, or emotional weight that’s starting to show up in your thoughts, relationships, or daily life, it can be hard to know where to start. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the impact of past experiences. You might notice yourself overthinking, feeling easily overwhelmed, shutting down emotionally, or reacting in ways that don’t quite make sense to you. Many of my clients come in feeling stuck but ready to better understand themselves and move forward in a different way.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, curious, and grounded in both creativity and practical tools. I draw from trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practices to help you explore your experiences in a way that feels honest and real. I also bring humor into the process and work with you to build coping strategies that actually fit your life.

What you can expect from me

Over time, many clients begin to feel more in control of their emotions, more connected to themselves, and more confident in how they respond to challenges. You can expect a space where you can show up fully as you are, explore what matters most to you, and begin building a life that feels more aligned and manageable.
