Starting therapy can feel overwhelming—especially if you're dealing with anxiety, big life changes, or just feeling unsure about where you’re headed. Whether you're navigating college stress, relationship shifts, career decisions, or a general sense of feeling “off,” you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and life transitions. Together, we’ll build tools to manage anxious thoughts, feel more in control, and navigate change with greater confidence and clarity.
My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment. Therapy isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about having a place to explore, grow, and feel truly understood. A strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of meaningful change, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
