About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who feels weighed down by stress, anxiety, or life transitions and is ready for a safe place to sort things out. They may be a student balancing classes and identity questions, a young professional navigating new responsibility, or anyone facing big changes that feel overwhelming. What they have in common is a desire to feel more grounded, supported, and confident in their everyday life.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed therapist with experience supporting individuals through stress, anxiety, life transitions, and identity exploration. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth—I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. I draw on practical tools and compassionate listening to help clients feel more grounded, supported, and confident. Whether you’re navigating school, relationships, or a new stage of life, I aim to provide a safe space where you can explore challenges and build lasting skills for growth.
