I help teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in trauma‑informed, strengths‑based care. I create a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what you need to heal and grow. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or burnout, we’ll work together to build clarity, resilience, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
I offer person‑centered, strengths‑based therapy with practical tools from CBT, mindfulness, and integrative approaches. Together we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences to help you gain insight, reduce distress, and build healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered.
You deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I meet clients with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, supported, and hopeful, I’d be honored to walk with you as you take the next steps toward healing.

During our first session, we'll gently explore what's been weighing on you and what you've been carrying alone. We'll talk through the emotions or stressors behind your anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges and begin shaping a plan that feels supportive, doable, and grounded in what you need.
