Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or other emotional challenges that feel heavy to carry alone? You deserve a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and know someone is truly in your corner. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples. As a former teacher, I use play-based, child-centered counseling to help children build emotional confidence and navigate big feelings. I also support couples, teens, and adults and individuals managing autoimmune and chronic health conditions, working together towards greater clarity and resilience, using practical tools for life’s challenges.
I offer a supportive space where you can show up as you are while we work together to understand patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop tools to manage overwhelming emotions and life’s challenges. Together, we’ll strengthen coping and emotional regulation skills and create practical strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. If you’re longing for clarity or a place where you can exhale and feel understood, I’m here to support you. When you’re ready to take the next step, or want to see if we’re a good fit, I encourage you to reach out. I am here so you don’t have to navigate this alone!
