You're not alone in facing life’s challenges. I work with adolescents and adults to help you navigate obstacles and create meaningful change. Using a strengths-based, integrative approach, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll build insight, develop practical tools, and foster resilience. My goal is to support you in gaining a stronger, more compassionate understanding of yourself so you can improve your well-being, relationships, and sense of purpose.
You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported. I offer a space where you can explore your story, reflect on challenges and successes, and develop skills that support growth and healing. Together, we’ll work to understand your experiences and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Taking the first step toward support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Whatever you're carrying, your experiences and feelings are valid. Therapy can unlock doors, and if you're ready to explore what healing or growth could look like for you, I’d be honored to walk with you.

I'm passionate about supporting adolescents as they navigate identity, self-discovery, and their place in the world. I also specialize in gender- and sexuality-affirming care, and I'm committed to providing a safe, supportive space for clients within the LGBTQIA community. In addition, I have a deep respect for those connected to military life and enjoy working with veterans and military families.
