Accepting new clients! My ideal client is a young adult or adult feeling stuck in life, struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or navigating life transitions. They need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions and build coping strategies. Their goal is to gain clarity, improve self-esteem, and create healthier relationships. They want to feel empowered, break free from patterns holding them back, and learn to embrace change with confidence. Ultimately, they seek growth and self-acceptance, knowing that with the right support, lasting positive change is possible.

I bring extensive experience in providing individual and family counseling to children, adolescents, and adults in both therapeutic settings and homes. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, school-related challenges, social coaching, life transitions, and offering dedicated support to the LGBTQ+ community.

My goal is to help you build effective coping skills and work collaboratively to create positive changes in your thoughts and behaviors. I believe in tailoring therapy to your unique needs, encouraging open communication throughout the process. I'm here to answer any questions and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
