You’re insightful and self-aware, but that doesn’t mean you’re not struggling. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by expectations, unsure how to set boundaries without guilt, or stuck in a loop of self-criticism and anxiety. Therapy is a space where we can sort through that together- honestly, gently, and with direction. I support adolescents (16+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional fatigue, identity shifts, and relational challenges. We'll explore how your internal patterns show up in daily life, and how to shift them in grounded, sustainable ways. My approach blends practical tools with deeper emotional work.
Some of these tools include cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed practices, emotional processing, and psychodynamic-informed reflection. I prioritize adjusting to your needs and pace. Therapy with me is direct, warm, and nonjudgmental. I don’t believe in “fixing” you- I believe in creating space for your complexity, agency, and capacity to grow.
Our work might include developing self-compassion, learning to stay present with discomfort or finding clarity in chaos- always centered around what’s meaningful for YOU. You don’t have to have the perfect words, a polished narrative, or a five-year plan to begin. If this sounds like what you might be looking for, I would be honored to connect. Please email!

I primarily work with older adolescents and young adults (typically ages 16-30). Clients come to me when they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in self-criticism, or burnt out by relational and emotional stress. We work together to help you shift the inner dialogue, learn how to sit with discomfort (rather than avoid it), and identify what actually works for you, not just what "should."
