Life can be overwhelming—even when everything looks fine on the outside. You may feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you're becoming. I work with young adults and adults to build self-esteem, develop healthy coping strategies, and heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve had the privilege of working with both adolescents and adults in a variety of settings—from schools to private practice. This has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face at different stages of life. I tailor my approach to each person to meet you where you are at.
Taking the first step toward therapy isn’t always easy, and I commend you for being here. I’m passionate about helping young adults and adults navigate self-esteem challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and past hurts. If you're ready to explore your inner world, build confidence, and develop healthier coping tools, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
