I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, and identity development. Many of my clients are managing academic stress, social pressures, shifting relationships, or the challenges of figuring out who they are in a complex world. Some come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to manage their emotions or responsibilities. Others are looking to build confidence, strengthen communication, or feel more connected to themselves and the people around them.
My style is grounded, collaborative, and flexible. Blending warmth and structure to create a space that feels safe and active. I use evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, along with a psychodynamic lens to explore deeper patterns. Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all, it’s culturally responsive, personalized.
In addition to therapy, I offer executive functioning coaching for clients seeking support with time management, organization, task follow-through, and motivation. My coaching has helped students, professionals, and neurodivergent clients improve performance, reduce overwhelm, and build sustainable systems for success.
