Being a teen or young adult is HARD—figuring out who you are, dealing with big feelings, and trying to make it through each day. Together, we can figure out how to handle the tough stuff and make things feel a little less overwhelming.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults on processing traumatic experiences, regulating emotions, navigating sensitive nervous systems, eating disorder recovery, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and suicidal ideation/self harm using sand-tray, play therapy, expressive arts, DBT, and parts-work.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel so overly clinical or intimidating—it's a conversation, a place to be real. I bring a down-to-earth, relational approach to help you navigate life’s challenges with honesty, playfulness, humor, and genuine connection. I hope to provide a space where you feel accepted for your most authentic self and experiences.
