Life can feel overwhelming, especially when outside pressures—social media, family, friends, or society—tell us who we “should” be or where we “should” be in life. My goal is to help you quiet that noise, connect with your inner voice, and build the confidence to live unapologetically in alignment with your own values. I strive to create a supportive space where you can discover peace, joy, and pride in becoming the version of yourself you want to be.
My approach is client-centered and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment-Based, Solution-Focused, and Strengths-Based methods. I work with adolescents through adulthood on challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, parenting, perinatal/postpartum transitions, and life changes.
I enjoy working with adolescents through mid-adulthood, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship challenges, parenting and co-parenting, perinatal/postpartum adjustments, self-esteem, boundary-setting, and building healthy communication and support systems. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey of growth!
