Are stress, trauma, or anxiety getting in the way of the life you want to live? Do you feel stuck in cycles of self-doubt, burnout, or emotional overwhelm—especially as someone who’s high-achieving and often expected to keep it all together? You’re not alone, and therapy can help. I help children, teenagers and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, OCD, grief, life transitions, and health-related challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based care.
Therapy with me is active and personalized—we’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck, and I’ll often share tools and strategies to help you make meaningful changes between sessions.
Whether you're working through past trauma, coping with anxiety, navigating relationship difficulties, or adjusting to a medical diagnosis, I’m here to support you in building a more grounded, meaningful, and values-aligned life. If you're considering therapy and want to learn more, I’d be glad to connect for a brief consultation.
