I believe healing starts when you feel seen, accepted, and supported. With over 13 years in education and working as a school counselor, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, and families through many challenges. I use a warm, person-centered approach to help kids and teens name their emotions, build coping skills, and grow stronger. I also enjoy supporting families in improving communication and understanding. Therapy with me is a safe space where big feelings are welcomed, laughter is encouraged, and real growth happens.
I have a passion for helping kids, teens, young adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, grief, identity questions, family changes, and the everyday stress of life. I offer a calm, supportive space where clients feel safe, understood, and accepted.
Whether you're a child, teen, young adult, or parent, you don’t have to navigate it all alone. Life gets messy, and support can make a big difference. When you're ready, I’m here to walk with you.
