Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with the pressures of school, relationships, or identity? Maybe you're a parent of a highly sensitive teen who feels everything deeply, or you're navigating the challenges of young adulthood and trying to figure out who you are. With 9 years of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals that feel misunderstood, stuck, & looking for support to better understand themselves & their emotions. Whether it's managing anxiety, exploring identity, or adjusting to life's transitions, you're seeking a safe, compassionate space to grow and find relief. I am here to help
I specialize in working with kids, teens, and young adults in San Diego, offering support for anxiety, depression, illness, & transitions. I also help highly sensitive persons (HSPs) to cope with their unique emotional experiences. Using evidence-based approaches, I offer practical tools & tailored therapy to explore emotions, build skills, & foster healing.
Life can feel like a maze of emotions & challenges, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy offers a space to be heard, understood, & supported. If you're ready to take the first step, I’m here to help you explore new possibilities & discover your strength. Reach out for a free consult & let’s collaborate to create the change you’re looking for.
