I'm accepting new clients for in-person & virtual sessions. I provide therapy for youth (12+) and adults. Life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling low or disconnected from the person you want to be. You don't have to silently face your challenges all on your own. Talking with a supportive professional outside of your social circle can give you a private place to talk about what you are experiencing and act as a start to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, patient, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood; as I believe feeling understood is the first step towards change.

Something needs to change but you’re not sure where to start. I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out from work, school, or just life in general. Many are living with ADHD or coping with the lasting effects of trauma. Others are struggling with low self-esteem, communication issues, or navigating big life transitions like moving out, starting a new job, or becoming more independent. Together, we focus on building insight, practical coping tools, and making real, sustainable changes... one step at a time.
