I am looking forward to working with people who are both motivated and unmotivated for treatment as I can appreciate the difficulty in beginning a therapeutic relationship. My ideal clientele would be respectful and at least willing to take a chance on therapy.

With a background in CBT my sessions also focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and may include DBT skills work.
Are you a parent struggling to understand, talk to, or help your teen with mental illness? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost, lonely, unmotivated, or afraid? I would love to help you find confidence, direction, peace, and the ability to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. With 13 years of experience, I have found a strong passion for working with adolescents and young adults. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. I especially enjoy helping teens and parents strengthen their relationship and ability to communicate.

The human experience is undeniably filled with (un)pleasant complexities, but, more than that, it is filled with resilience. I firmly believe that we all hold the innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. My goal is to be a sounding board to these inner resources and walk with you on that journey. With a compassionate and authentic approach, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve personal growth. I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, body image concerns, disordered eating/eating disorders, neurodivergence, and self-discovery in limiting environments.

Things haven't felt safe for a while. Life feels out of control, and you're clinging to the things that bring even a moment of relief. But the relief is fleeting, and the all-too-familiar cycles of avoidance, worry, or self-criticism inevitably return. It feels like life is one big mantra: push it down, get through, and wait for the next stressor to hit. You struggle to remember a time when living didn't feel so...stuck.

I draw from solution-focused therapy, narrative approaches, and DBT-informed skills.
Sometimes life starts to feel heavy all at once. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Anxiety may feel louder, relationships strained, or a life transition may have left you unsure of where you’re headed. You might be carrying a lot internally while still showing up for everyone else. Many people I work with are seeking relief, clarity, and balance. They want to feel understood without being judged and to gain tools that actually help. At the core, they’re looking for space to slow down, make sense of their experiences, and move forward in a more grounded, intentional way.
