If you're feeling overwhelmed by grief, navigating anxiety, or caught in the exhausting cycle of perfectionism, you’re not alone. I work with children (ages 7+), teens, adults, couples, and families to create a safe, supportive space for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Grief and loss can show up in many forms: the death of a loved one, a major life transition, or the quiet loss of identity or direction. I help clients process these experiences with compassion, honoring the past while gently navigating forward.
If you’re managing high expectations, chronic stress, or persistent anxiety, I work with you to identify the patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll build skills to manage your emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and create more space for balance and self-acceptance.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I integrate CBT to support emotional regulation and coping skills, and Narrative Therapy to help reshape the stories you carry about yourself.
I currently have immediate availability with flexible scheduling. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I'm here to help.
