I work with high-achieving teens (16+) and adults who are often seen as "the strong ones" but feel overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally drained. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, with practical, evidence-based strategies, I help clients manage anxiety, navigate life changes, and build confidence. My approach is warm and collaborative. I use Grow Therapy as my primary platform for insurance. Follow me on Instagram: fortheloveofkoullc4 for mental health tips, encouragement, and wellness resources.
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for high-achieving teens and adults who want to change unhelpful thought patterns, manage their emotions, and develop better coping skills. I combine empathy with practical tools to help you make real, lasting changes in your everyday life.
I take a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive approach. I provide a calm, supportive space where you can be yourself without feeling the need to over-explain or feel pressured. Together, we can explore what might be holding you back and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whenever you feel ready, this space will be here for you.
