Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself lately? Maybe you’re struggling with low motivation, anxiety, grief, body image concerns, or navigating a major life change. You might feel lost or uncertain about how to move forward. In today’s world — with so much happening politically and socially — it’s understandable to feel unsettled, anxious, or even hopeless at times. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and build tools to cope, grow, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
For over 23 years, I’ve worked with teens, and adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and body image concerns, trauma, grief, and LGBTQ+ identity exploration. My approach is warm, collaborative, and inclusive — tailored to meet you where you are and help you move toward healing, hope, and meaningful change.
If you’re ready to begin therapy, I invite you to email me with a brief note about what you’d like support with, whether you’re interested in in-person or virtual sessions, and the type of insurance you plan to use. I look forward to connecting with you and being part of your journey toward healing and growth.
