My primary focus is on supporting teens and young adults as they navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma, chronic illness, and substance abuse. I believe negative life events don’t have to upend your world. Together, we’ll explore the entire system—family, work, school, friends—and address what you can control while coping with what you can’t. Often, our biggest obstacles are the “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” we impose on ourselves. Clients have the freedom to guide our sessions and choose topics to explore, ensuring our work progresses at a pace that feels comfortable and right for them.
