Life can look “fine” on the outside while feeling overwhelming inside. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and performance pressure. My approach is compassionate, direct, and goal-oriented. Together we build practical coping skills, emotional resilience, and lasting confidence. Therapy is a space to be honest, feel understood, and create meaningful change.
Using CBT, strengths-based, and client-centered therapy, I help clients challenge limiting thoughts, build practical skills, and grow confidence. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on meaningful change.
You don’t have to keep managing everything on your own. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, I invite you to reach out today. Therapy can provide clarity, practical tools, and steady support. Taking the first step may feel uncomfortable—but it can also be the start of meaningful, lasting growth.

I accept most major insurance plans and also offer private pay options. If you're unsure about coverage, I'm happy to help you verify benefits. My goal is to make therapy as accessible and transparent as possible so we can focus on your growth, not the paperwork.

My style blends cognitive-behavioral tools with a strengths-based, client-centered approach. Our first session is a conversation—getting to know you, understanding patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and outlining clear, achievable goals moving forward.
