Not taking new clients until Sept 2023. Therapy is an inherently collaborative process. Effective therapy begins by building a foundation of trust, understanding, and compassion.

For youth (and adults too!), we can offer specialized creative approaches that support healing and identity exploration when talking is too hard.

I serve children, adolescents, and young adults who have a desire for understanding what is happening within them and discovering ways to improve their mental well-being as they develop.

My goal is to guide clients in learning skills and discovering their own personal strengths so that they can find confidence in their ability to heal and work through struggles on their own after counseling is complete.
