About me
I help teens, young adults, and families navigate challenges with relationships, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with genuine connection, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore struggles and build practical skills for lasting change.
I get that opening up to a therapist can feel awkward or even scary — so my first goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I work with teens, young adults, and families to sort through tough emotions, messy relationships, and the pressure of figuring out who you are and what you want.
My approach is real, not rigid — we’ll talk, problem-solve, and build skills you can actually use in everyday life. Whether you’re dealing with drama, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, or family conflict, I’m here to help you find your voice, understand yourself better, and make choices that move you toward the life you want. Therapy with me is about being honest, feeling supported, and knowing you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
