I work with children, teens, and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to cope with what they are experiencing. They may feel disconnected from themselves or other, or be trying to make sense of past experiences that continue to impact their present.

I support clients in building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and processing their experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. Together, we work towards helping clients feel more grounded, confident, and better equipped to navigate their lives and relationships.

If you're thinking about starting therapy or have questions, I welcome you to reach out. We can explore whether this feels like the right fit for you.

First and foremost, my goal is to get to know and meet my clients where they are at. To me, the therapeutic relationships is a key factor in the healing process. Once we can feel connected with others, we often develop a new capacity to engage in behavior change and new skills that may otherwise not be possible.
