Sometimes, it can feel like you're doing your best to hold everything together on the outside, even when things feel tough on the inside. Life brings challenges for all of us: big feelings, changes, and moments that can feel overwhelming. I work with kids, teens, and adults, and no matter how old you are, I believe you know yourself better than anyone else. In therapy, my hope is to offer a safe and welcoming space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. We'll work to discover your strengths and build tools that help you move through life with confidence and resilience.
As a counselor, I bring a blend of creativity, curiosity, and acceptance to each session. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring interventions to meet your unique needs. With a background in education, I believe in fostering growth through learning, and I enjoy helping clients discover new perspectives and possibilities.
Whether you are seeking clarity, growth, or simply a place to share your story, therapy with me will be collaborative. I build a genuine relationship with clients, so expect interactive feedback, laughter, and curiosity. I also really love to educate my clients and learn from them! I invite you to show up, exactly as you are.
