If you are a teen or young adult struggling with anxiety, I would love to chat. As a therapist I strive to create a space where you feel safe to explore those untouched areas of anxiety, trauma, hurt and shame. I approach each client with kindness and compassion, while also gently encouraging growth and healing at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy can be both a refuge and a challenge, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore your story, uncover insight, and take meaningful steps toward change.

With over a decade of experience in youth ministry before switching careers, I bring a deep passion for working with teens and young adults. I understand the complexities and pressures that come with these life stages, and I’m committed to helping clients navigate identity, relationships, and emotional struggles with support and clarity.

Please note: I have very limited availability in Mission Viejo. Please reach out to get on my waitlist. I do, however, have availability in Newport and Online.

ADHD and Anxiety often go together. As someone who personally has struggled with both, I bring a deep passion and understanding for young adults that are struggling through anxiety and/or ADHD. Let's work through those patterns that do not serve you, together, and help get you out of those patterns.
