Parenting a teen can feel like living with a stranger- mood swings, slammed doors, or sudden hatred of school that you can't make sense of. Or maybe you're a 20-something, feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or overwhelmed by the pressures of school, work, or relationships. Trauma, stress, friend drama, self-doubt, and the expectation to "have it all together" can feel crushing. The teen and young adult years can be fun & exciting, but too often come with feeling overwhelmed, insecure, and stuck. You don't have to figure this out alone. With support, healing and growth are possible.

I work with teens and young adults to make sense of overwhelming emotions. My clients learn how to name what they feel, calm intense reactions, and face painful memories without crashing out. Together, we build coping skills that bring relief, confidence, and hope for a brighter future.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. It's a chance to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. Parents- even taking this step to look into therapy shows how much you care. It's important to find someone your teen will "vibe" with, so let's talk first & then we can decide how to move forward.

Additionally, I help those who are struggling to adjust after a trauma, process this trauma in a safe, clinical setting and help them to overcome this trauma in a healthy way rather than leaning on self destructive habits to cope.
