Hello and welcome! As a licensed therapist, I'm dedicated to supporting teens and young adults through the unique challenges they face during this transformative stage of life. Whether it's navigating academic pressures, managing social relationships, or dealing with stress and anxiety, I provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can express themselves and work towards personal growth.
In addition to being a licensed practitioner, I am also a school psychologist with 10+ years of experience, allowing me to bring a unique blend of therapeutic and educational expertise to my practice. Drawing on my experience working in schools, I bring a unique perspective to supporting young adults, including those with learning challenges.
As a therapist for young adults, I understand that this stage of life can be particularly challenging. I am here to support individuals with empathy, discover their strengths, build resilience, and find the courage to confidently step into the future.
