I support teens and young adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, wellness and lifestyle concerns, and LGBTQ+ experiences. My approach is affirming, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients build confidence, clarity, and resilience as they move through important stages of growth.
I’m a strengths‑based, person‑centered counselor who helps clients gain insight into challenges they may struggle to navigate alone. I emphasize self‑care and mindfulness throughout the healing process to support meaningful, lasting change in daily life.
Counseling can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate challenges alone. I offer a supportive space where you can express yourself freely and work through what feels too heavy to carry by yourself, at a pace that feels right for you.
