Welcome! You Don't Have to Navigate Life's Challenges Alone. Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage, and I'm glad you're here. I work with young adults through adults in their mid-40s who are navigating trauma, grief, PTSD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about your next steps. Maybe you're coping with a breakup, family conflict, loss, cultural or generational differences, the pressures of adulthood, or the challenges of finding your place in the world. You may be adjusting to college, navigating changing relationships, or learning to build independence after aging out of foster care. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences and needs. Together, we'll work to process difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, build meaningful connections, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. Whether you're working through past experiences or trying to make sense of what comes next, therapy can be a place to pause, heal, grow, and discover new possibilities for yourself. I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

Together, we focus on insight, coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change. I help clients process trauma, manage grief, strengthen self-esteem, and build healthier ways to cope with stress, loneliness, and life transitions.

My approach is warm, supportive, and trauma-informed. I work to create a space where clients can better understand what they are carrying and begin moving forward with more clarity and confidence.

In the first session, we’ll talk through what has been going on, what feels most important right now, and what kind of support would feel most helpful. We’ll begin identifying the experiences, stressors, or losses that may be affecting you and start building a plan that feels manageable and clear.

My goal is for the first session to feel supportive, grounded, and useful.
