Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like you are constantly falling behind no matter how hard you try? Maybe you are juggling school, work stress, burnout, relationships, or major life changes while quietly wondering why everything feels harder for you than it seems for everyone else?
I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to cope with the pressure they're under. Together, we create a space where you can begin to better understand yourself.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence based. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can fully be yourself while also learning tools that genuinely help in everyday life. In our work together, we may process past experiences, build healthier coping skills, improve self-esteem, and strengthen relationships.

I used evidenced based theories like CBT and ACT to help you manage stressful thoughts, relationships, and set boundaries. In session I help my client's explore their thoughts, feelings, and actions through a variety of techniques adapted to meet each client's specific needs.
