Life can be difficult at times; being a child or teen in today's world is hard, parenting is stressful, and the transition into young adulthood is confusing.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, relationships, and other issues. Being vulnerable about our struggles can be incredibly difficult. My goal is to empower my clients to lean into that vulnerability so we can function together as a team to work through them. I strive to create a non-judgmental and compassionate space where individuals from all backgrounds can feel seen and heard. In my practice, I pair a person-centered, strength-based focus with cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.

I'm not here to tell you what's "wrong" with you but instead, to explore what what you've experienced, how you've survived, and your hopes for the future. We are all individuals and products of our environment, with unique strengths and survival behaviors that have helped during difficult times. My goal is to help you identify those strengths so they can be used with intention to reach your desired potential and live a whole-hearted life.
