If you're a teen or young adult who's tried to explain what's going on in your head and felt like nobody quite got it; I get it. I'm the kind of therapist who meets you exactly where you are, whether that means diving into the heavy stuff or just starting with what happened this week. My style is direct, real, and genuinely warm. While I have a particular passion for adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, I also welcome adults into my practice.
I don't do stiff or clinical. I'm direct, real, and I'll probably make you laugh, even when we're doing hard work. I show up as a real person, not just a therapist, and I'm not afraid to be honest with you when you need it. If you're a teen who thinks therapy sounds terrible... I hear that a lot. My clients tend to change their minds.
I genuinely enjoy working with teenagers and young adults. Teens who've never opened up in therapy before tend to open up with me, often in ways that surprise their parents. I think it's because I show up as a real person, not just a therapist. And that's exactly the kind of conversation I bring to every session. Book a FREE 15 minute session today.

My core focus is anxiety, depression, and life transitions across adolescents, young adults, and adults. Teens who've sworn off therapy before tend to actually like working with me. I'm told it's because I keep it real. I also offer specialized OCD treatment using ERP, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused strategies for clients ready to do that work.

I draw from evidence-based approaches and adapt my style to each client rather than following a rigid formula. For OCD clients, I use ERP, a structured, exposure-based method with strong research support. For anxiety and depression, I integrate what works for the individual, always grounded in building a real therapeutic relationship first.
