About My Clients

Have you ever felt out of place in a room full of people, overthinking what to say or replaying conversations afterward? Maybe you say “I’m fine” while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. I work with teens and adults who are carrying a lot and trying to hold it all together. Therapy offers space to explore your story, understand your needs, and build self-trust—without having to find the perfect words or have everything figured out.

My Background and Approach

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, grief, burnout, postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, struggle with self-worth, or find themselves putting others’ needs ahead of their own. I specialize in trauma-informed care, helping clients understand how past experiences influence their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we work on processing difficult experiences, building coping skills, setting healthier boundaries, and strengthening self-trust. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel understood and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My own experiences with loss, grief, and rebuilding my life have shaped how I show up as a therapist. I know how uncertain it can feel to move forward when life looks different than you imagined. I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion to therapy, making space for your unique story and supporting you as you find your own way forward.
