Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck can make everyday life feel harder than it should. I help children, teens, and parents manage anxiety, school stress, and life transitions with practical tools and compassionate support. Together, we’ll build skills to help you feel more confident, balanced, and connected.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a person-centered approach to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while also creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space for growth. My work is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
