You know that feeling when everyone else seems to understand the rules, but nobody ever gave you the handbook? Maybe you're exhausted from trying to keep up with school, work, relationships, or family expectations. You can't shut off the overthinking, shutting down, breaking down, people-pleasing, and/or masking. Maybe you're trying to figure out who you are while also trying to survive the pressure of who everyone else wants you to be. If this all sounds familiar, you are in the right place and you are not alone.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked with Teens as a special educator, behavioral support specialist, and school counselor. I understand school systems, accommodations, IEPs/504 plans, and challenges Teens must navigate in our world today. Specialty areas of mine are ADHD, Autism, emotional regulation challenges, disability, school stress, and LGBTQ+.
You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own and you deserve a space where you don't have to explain or justify who you are. Together, we'll work to understand what's happening beneath the surface and find things that actually help. The hardest part is over...you are here. Message me to schedule your first session or for a free consult call.
