Life transitions can be overwhelming—whether you’re starting something new, facing unexpected changes, or feeling stuck in the in-between. You might be adjusting to high school or college, managing academic or social pressure, navigating relationships, questioning your identity, or simply trying to figure out your next step. If you're feeling anxious, unmotivated, or unsure of how to move forward, you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone either.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with specialized experience supporting children, teens, and young adults as they move through life’s many turning points. I create a judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you're feeling—even if you're not totally sure how to put it into words yet. My style is supportive, engaging & non-judgmental.
I bring warmth, empathy, and real-world understanding to every session. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—you set the pace, and I walk with you. We’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way, explore what matters most to you, and find strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
