It’s okay not to have all the answers. And the answers that you do have don’t have to remain the same as you move through each day, month, and year of your life. You are a human being who is constantly evolving and shifting in every moment. Your experience in this world is complex, and your therapy should fit your needs, leaving wiggle room for that plan to evolve with you.

I work with adults, teens, and preteens supporting them on their journeys of self-discovery and exploration as well as helping them navigate anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions like work/school stress, divorce, or loss.

You don't have to do it all alone. Having a non-biased support system help you navigate change and big decisions in your life is sometimes all we need to see the possibility in the opportunities before us.

I work with people who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, and are going through life transitions that can make them feel overwhelmed and off balance. We can work together to create awareness of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all linked. When we focus on and make small changes over time, growth and new pathways become more clear and attainable.
