About me
I’m an AMFT who has a strong focus on working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, and life transitions.
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, like you’re holding more than you let on, or like your mind is always running, you’re not alone. It can be exhausting to carry that while trying to keep up with everything else. Having a space to slow down and make sense of what you’re feeling can help things feel more manageable and clear.
I work with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, and the pressure of figuring out direction and motivation. I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients and feel especially drawn to those who are hard on themselves, feel stuck in patterns, and need something to shift.
My style is warm, collaborative, and honest. I’ll move at your pace while helping you understand yourself more clearly, break patterns that aren’t working, and start making changes that feel realistic and lasting. You don’t have to navigate this on your own.
