About My Clients

Whether you're figuring out who you are, dealing with family or friend dynamics, adjusting to a new environment, or working through something painful that's hard to name, you've come to the right place! I work with high schoolers, college students, young adults, and adults navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, interpersonal and familial dynamics, grief/loss, life transitions, and identity.

My Background and Approach

Life transitions can feel like a lot: new pressures, new choices, and new versions of yourself trying to figure it out. All of this newness also comes with loss of what was familiar. My approach is collaborative with no judgment, just a space to be heard. I use an eclectic approach with CBT, DBT, somatics, and mindfulness tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you build real tools for stress, relationships, for the moments your mind won't quiet down, while also making room to explore bigger questions and challenge narratives that are no longer serving us. You don't have to have it all figured out! Think we might click? Send me a message and let's talk.
