College, young adulthood, and major life transitions can feel both exciting and overwhelming. If stress, anxiety, or self-doubt are starting to take up too much space, therapy can help. Many of my clients want to understand the roots of their anxiety or stress and learn practical ways to manage these feelings. My goal is to help you quiet the noise, find clarity, and feel truly heard.
I specialize in supporting teens and young adults through stress, anxiety, and big life changes. My approach is solution-focused and collaborative. I believe that genuine, authentic connection is key to therapeutic success. We will identify your strengths and build momentum forward, often with a touch of humor to keep things real.
It takes real strength to ask for help, and I honor that courage in every client I meet. I work hard to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can bring whatever’s on your mind - big or small. If you’re ready, I’d love to support you. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered, and strengths-based approaches. My sessions are collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on giving you practical tools you can use right away. I believe therapy works best when it feels genuine, and I find a little humor can go a long way.
