My passion is helping children and adults struggling with everyday life, find clarity, confidence, and calm in the middle of life’s craziness. Whether you're navigating school pressures, self regulation issues, self doubt, or feeling overwhelmed from your day to day life, I’m here to walk beside you and support you by using trauma informed and science based strategies to decrease anxiety, depression, and improves overall wellbeing.
I specialize in working with children ages 5+ (self regulation, anger management, self-esteem, ADHD, etc.), athletes (pressure to perform, burn-out, self doubt, etc.), and those who may be struggling with their mental health during their day to day life.
I believe in creating a safe space where you can be your true self and talk openly, with no judgment, and have fun. I love sports, music, outdoors so feel free to bring all your interests as well. Together, we'll tackle those patterns that are holding you back from living the life you deserve!
