Teens, college students, and young adults who often appear high-functioning externally but feel overwhelmed internally. Many struggle with anxiety, overthinking, identity confusion, or intense emotions in relationships. They may feel pressure to hold everything together while privately feeling uncertain about who they are or how to navigate what they’re experiencing. I also support parents seeking clarity around emotional or behavioral shifts in their adolescent or young adult child.

I specialize in anxiety, identity development, and relational patterns in teens and young adults. Therapy focuses on understanding emotional responses, reducing overwhelm, and building a stronger sense of self using attachment-based therapy, CBT, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself or others, we can work together to bring clarity and steadiness to what you’re experiencing. Reaching out is simply a first step toward understanding what you need. Reach out if you would like to schedule a free consultation.
