I'm not accepting clients at this time, but can add to a waitlist.
Being a teen or young adult today isn’t easy. Between school, relationships, social pressures, and figuring out who you are, it can feel overwhelming. If ADHD, anxiety, or depression is making life even harder, I’m here to help. You don’t have to navigate this alone—therapy is a place where you can be yourself without judgment. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming space where young people can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and build on their strengths.
I use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strength-based approaches to help you understand your thoughts, build confidence, and develop real-life skills to manage stress, emotions, and daily challenges. My goal is to support you in finding practical strategies that actually work—whether that’s improving focus, coping, etc.
I offer virtual sessions primarily so you can access support from wherever you’re comfortable—whether that’s your bedroom, dorm, or favorite coffee shop. I have limited in office availability. Therapy should fit into your life, not add stress to it
Let's talk and see if we are a good fit. I offer free 15 minute consults. Click on my website to schedule!
