I use evidence-based approaches to help teens and young adults reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, build healthier coping skills, and foster resilience. I provide empathy and support while also challenging you to step outside of your comfort zone and move toward growth.

Together, we will explore the patterns holding you back and discover new ways of coping that bring relief and clarity. We’ll work on building tools you can use in everyday life, while also addressing the deeper roots of your struggles. I’ll listen with care, encourage your strengths, and gently challenge you when it helps you grow.

My clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, and real. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself, so I create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can share openly. I’m known for being direct in a gentle way, helping people see patterns and possibilities they may have overlooked.

I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, trauma, depression, and addiction. I also have experience working with young people involved in the criminal justice system.

I became a therapist after witnessing the impact of mental health challenges and addiction within my own family. I’m especially passionate about working with teens and young adults, because I believe this is a pivotal stage where they can break cycles, build resilience, and create the foundation for a healthy, fulfilling life.

In my practice, I focus on creating a collaborative and compassionate environment. I use evidence-based approaches while tailoring sessions to meet each person where they are. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves more deeply, improve coping skills, and build confidence in their ability to manage life’s challenges.
