First time in therapy? Or tired of feeling like you have to handle everything on your own? You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. I work with teens, young adults, and millennials—especially men and people of color—who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, and past experiences that may still be affecting them in ways they don’t always recognize. A lot of my clients aren’t used to opening up. They’ve learned to push through and handle things on their own, but over time that can feel exhausting. It may show up as overthinking, shutting down, or feeling disconnected in relationships—you’re not alone.
I focus on creating a space that feels real, supportive, and easy to step into. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to understand what’s shaping your experiences, how your past shows up in the present, and what you need moving forward, while building practical tools to help you navigate it.
My goal is to help you feel more in control of your emotions, more confident expressing yourself, and more connected in your relationships—without losing who you are. Whether you’re new to therapy or coming back to it, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
