I believe we're all one conversation or reflection away from a radical shift in perspective — but is that shift always desirable? Can therapy potentially backfire? Are some things better left unknown? If so, then we might not be a good fit, because I tend to play the devil's advocate more often than I should.

Life can feel overwhelming, even when you appear to be functioning well on the outside. You might overthink situations, get stuck analyzing your emotions or choices, or feel frustrated by recurring patterns you can’t fully explain. You may be navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, ADHD, OCD, grief or loss, while feeling internally unsettled, disconnected, or unsure how to make sense of what you’re carrying. You’re looking for a therapist who truly understands your unique experiences — someone who listens closely, but also challenges you and supports you in moving through barriers with intention.

At times, the body speaks what words cannot - through anxiety, fatigue, or pain. I work with adults and teens navigating depression, grief and loss, difficult relationships, shame, stress, burnout and many other issues.

Together, we explore what your symptoms and struggles may be expressing, so that you can gain new awareness and begin to experience relief, connection and freedom in your life.

In my practice, I work mainly with children, youth and their families. I offer individual therapy for children/youth who struggle with issues like self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bullying, emotional regulation and parent-teen conflict. Parent sessions are recommended along side the child's therapy. In certain situations, I provide parent coaching for those who want to reflect upon themselves and develop better parenting strategies. For those seeking individual and family therapy, my hope is to offer a space where each person can talk without shame and begin to compose the life they desire.
