I love working with teens and young adults—their humor, honesty, and raw vulnerability feel like such a privilege to see. I was a teacher and a GED High School coordinator for several years before I became a psychotherapist, and that experience allowed me to understand the world of children, and I bring that understanding into my work. There is something genuinely magical about the way they open when they feel safe. As a parent myself, I feel especially blessed to be part of their world and to support families as they navigate the beautiful, and sometimes complicated work of growing up together.
I can support you untangle long‑standing patterns, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with the masterpiece that you are.
I am also incorporating hiking and movement into sessions, and I have noticed how open, and grounded individuals become outdoors. Being in nature helps them relax, connect, and express themselves in ways that feel natural.
I have experience with anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, addiction, and life transitions. I believe in the power of awareness and that we all have infinite power and possibility within ourselves to heal. Our work will be collaborative, with intention, and nothing is forced before you're ready. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Reach out today.
