Life can feel like it’s constantly throwing curveballs, and sometimes it can be hard to deal with all that’s going on. If you're feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by school, friendships, or just life in general, you're not alone. Together, we'll talk through what's been bothering you and get to the root of it. I teach you tools to help reframe negative thoughts, manage stress, and cope with emotions in a healthy way, while also feeling validated in your emotions. It's about finding strategies that actually work for YOU so you can start feeling better, more in control, and ready to take on life with confidence.
I’m passionate about working with teens and young adults to give them a positive therapy experience and equip them with coping tools for life. With experience in education and the community, my goal is to help teens and young adults learn skills that’ll support them now and in the future, so they’re ready for life’s challenges and know when to ask for help.
I know life can feel overwhelming, and it's tough to handle everything on your own. You don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to provide a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll work through the stress and build the confidence you need. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation. Let’s take that first step together.
