You’re navigating life changes that feel overwhelming—graduating, starting a new job, healing from trauma, or just trying to understand who you are in the world. You may be a teen feeling stuck or anxious, a young adult in transition, or someone trying to manage stress and show up more fully in your life. You’re looking for a therapist who’s calm, real, and able to help you make sense of your experiences while building strategies that actually stick.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults using talk therapy, DBT, psychodynamic, and expressive approaches. I tailor each session to fit you—sometimes that includes fidgets, crafts, or just space to be yourself. Together, we’ll explore your needs, build emotional skills, and move toward meaningful change.
Therapy with me is supportive, relaxed, and always centered on you. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a little humor (yes, I might quote a song lyric like it’s gospel). I’ll meet you where you’re at, celebrate your progress, and help you face hard things without pressure. Let’s do the deep work—together.
