Specializes in teens, college students, and young adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, identity, and life transitions.
Welcome
I believe therapy should be a space where you do not have to perform, shrink yourself, or have everything figured out. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and authentic environment where clients can slow down, explore their experiences honestly, and begin reconnecting with themselves in meaningful ways.
I approach counseling through a trauma-informed, existential, and person-centered lens. Together, we explore not only symptoms and coping, but also identity, purpose, relationships, values, and the deeper questions that often emerge during difficult life experiences.
Therapy for Teens & Adults
I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults navigating identity development, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, academic stress, family dynamics, and anxiety.
Many people today feel pressure to constantly achieve while quietly struggling underneath. I strive to help clients build emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, self-trust, and a stronger sense of personal meaning and direction.
Areas I commonly support clients with include:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Depression and emotional overwhelm
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Identity and self-esteem concerns
Relationship and friendship difficulties
Life transitions and uncertainty
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Academic or career-related stress
Therapy for Children
Childhood can bring big emotions, new challenges, and experiences that children do not always have the words to explain. I enjoy creating a warm, welcoming space where children feel comfortable being themselves, expressing their feelings, and learning new ways to navigate the world around them.
My approach to working with children is supportive, creative, and tailored to their developmental needs. I incorporate age appropriate activities, creative expression, and engaging therapeutic techniques to help children explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.
I support children experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, low self esteem, friendship challenges, family changes, school stress, and other challenges that can make growing up feel overwhelming.
I also recognize the important role parents and caregivers play in a child's emotional well being. When appropriate, I collaborate with families to help strengthen communication, build understanding, and support the skills children are developing in therapy.
My goal is for children to feel understood, accepted, and empowered while helping them develop the emotional tools and confidence they need to thrive.
Therapeutic Approaches
I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs, personality, and goals while integrating evidence-based and relational approaches.
Modalities I may incorporate include:
Person-Centered Therapy
Existential Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Trauma-Informed Care
Mindfulness and grounding techniques
Strengths-based interventions
Psychoeducation and emotional skill-building
As I continue growing professionally, I also have strong interests in EMDR, group work, and deeper trauma processing approaches.
About Me
Outside of counseling, I enjoy traveling, cooking, creative projects, and spending time with friends and family. I value authenticity, curiosity, humor, and meaningful connection in both my personal life and therapeutic work.
My experiences working in mental health settings, student support services, research, and community-based care and research have deepened my passion for helping individuals feel seen, empowered, and supported through difficult seasons of life.
