Life can be overwhelming for adolescents and adults alike. It’s not uncommon to feel stuck in unwanted patterns, negative thoughts, sleepless nights, or the constant pressure to perform. Maybe the past still impacts you in ways you don’t fully understand, or perhaps current challenges—like academic demands, social pressures, career stress, or major life transitions—are affecting your life. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to ease anxiety, enhance focus, strengthen relationships, and bring a greater sense of balance to your life. When you're ready, we can also explore how past experiences may be influencing your progress.
I take a holistic approach to therapy, focusing on your unique needs and goals. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic analysis, dialectical behavior and mindfulness techniques. When working with adolescents, I incorporate developmentally appropriate techniques, such as narrative therapy, emotional regulation, and digital play therapy.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're figuring out who you are, managing stress and expectations, or striving for a more fulfilling life, I'm here to support you every step of the way!
