Life often asks us to perform at our best—whether in school, sports, career, or relationships. But high standards and constant pressure can leave you feeling drained, stuck, or disconnected from what really matters. You may be pushing forward on the outside while quietly battling stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or self-doubt on the inside. Therapy is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and rediscover balance. Together we’ll explore the patterns holding you back, strengthen what’s already working, and build strategies that help you feel both grounded and capable of moving toward your goals with confidence.
I work with teens, professionals, first-responders, and veterans who want more than quick fixes. My style is collaborative and down-to-earth—I’ll challenge you with honesty, encourage you with compassion, and make space for humor along the way. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling both understood and motivated to keep growing.
Whether you’re seeking recovery, resilience, or performance at the next level, I bring genuine enthusiasm and a variety of tools to support you. My goal is to help you heal what feels heavy while also unlocking your full potential. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical—it can be engaging, empowering, and even transformative.
