Lately, it may feel like you’re running on empty—pushing through each day, meeting expectations, and taking care of responsibilities, yet still feeling exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe work/school has become a constant source of stress, you're experiencing burnout, or finding it difficult to maintain balance between your professional and personal life. You may be questioning yourself more often, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or wondering when things will start to feel manageable again. You’re not alone in wanting something to shift.
I focus on working with teens (12+) and adults, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community or facing life adjustments. Clients often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me and appreciate having a therapist who is easy to talk to and genuinely cares. My approach is empathetic and collaborative, while also being direct and solution-focused.
I believe in meeting clients where they are and honoring the resilience they bring to the table. I often incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), and person-centered techniques to tailor therapy to your unique needs. Call or email today to get scheduled.

I help teens and adults working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and LGBTQ identity stress. Therapy often includes building nervous system regulation, processing past experiences at your pace, and strengthening self-trust. Many clients feel more grounded, present, and connected to themselves over time.
