You’re juggling so much - grades, expectations, identity, relationships - and it’s all starting to weigh you down. Whether you’re the parent of a child dealing with separation anxiety, a teen navigating social pressures or family dynamics, a student-athlete coping with academic expectations and performance anxiety, or a young adult trying to find your place in the world, you’re craving clarity, peace, and a path forward. You want to feel less overwhelmed, more confident in who you are, and supported as you face what’s ahead. Therapy can help you get there.
With over ten years’ experience as a middle and high school teacher and extensive training in counseling, I work with kids, teens and young adults through anxiety, stress, identity, performance pressure, relationships, and life transitions. Using integrative therapy, I offer support that’s affirming, collaborative, and rooted in your own unique strengths.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Whether you’re figuring out who you are or how to cope with everything coming at you, I’m here to listen without judgment and walk beside you. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow into who you want to be.
