I understand that teens and young adults often feel alone, believing they can’t voice their problems to those around them. This sense of isolation can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms and broken relationships. My goal is to provide a safe and private space where my clients can share their fears and concerns without judgment. By creating this supportive environment, I aim to help my clients discover the best versions of themselves and flourish into the individuals they want to be.

In today's world, there has been a growing trend of being more focused on perfection, often to the point of harsh self-criticism. We are expected to say yes to every request all while feeling overburdened and without a voice. As a result, we get so caught up in our lives that we forget, or have never learned how to set healthy boundaries which can result in the lowering of our self-worth. My focus is working with clients ages 12 to adult struggling with issues such as burnout in our personal and professional life, difficulty with communication skills, and practicing self compassion. Life is more complex than a diagnosis.
