Sometimes pain is overwhelming, especially as a teen or young adult. You might be feeling sad, worried, or like no one else in the world understands. Maybe you are struggling in school or work, or having a hard time making friends. Or maybe you are in a difficult family situation, or are completely overwhelmed by what you want your future to be like. You may be noticing things like withdrawing from others or even physically harming yourself. Whether you're feeling sadness, anxiety, or a sense of isolation, it's crucial to recognize that you're not alone.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I enjoy working with those who experience school stress, perfectionism, social anxiety, life transitions, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and family conflict.
