You may be carrying more than anyone realizes, and it's exhausting trying to manage it all on your own. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anger, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and life's everyday challenges. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and together we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use a person-centered, integrative approach tailored to your unique needs, incorporating CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together, we'll build practical coping skills, strengthen your confidence, and help you move toward the life you want to live.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to have it all figured out before you begin. Healing starts with one courageous step. I'm here to offer a supportive, judgment-free space where we can work together to help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and in control of your future.
