I am accepting new clients! Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you can't keep afloat? Do your days often feel overwhelming and full of anxiety and dread? Let's talk about it. No matter where you are in life, therapy is a great way to help you break the cycle and start new! I have a passion for walking alongside teens and adults as they experience the ups and downs of life. I understand how life changes can be a lot to manage and I believe that you don't have to do it alone. As an affirming therapist, I believe that a genuine connection and feeling of safety is the key to growing and becoming the best version of you.
I have experience in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to clients of all ages and backgrounds. My true passion lies with helping young adults conquer anxiety, stress, depression, and OCD. I strive to be a fully present and safe place for individuals in need of a listening ear and new perspective. Together, we can build resiliency.
I understand how sometimes asking for help is the hardest part. I offer in-person or telehealth services and I invite anyone interested in taking that first step to email me today to schedule a free initial screening call!
