Accepting new clients ages 16+! I recognize it can feel overwhelming, maybe even scary, to search for a therapist at a time when you are struggling and most vulnerable. I can assure you, with my experience and empathetic presence, I do my best to make the process feel seamless and welcoming. I have extensive experience working with teens, young adults, and couples. I previously worked full-time as a school-based therapist working with teens and families navigating mental health diagnoses and challenging life circumstances. I welcome you to bring your challenges into my therapy room so that you don't have to navigate them alone.
I provide a safe space for all of my clients. I create a space that is free of judgment, where teens, young adults, and couples can let down their walls, and sit with their emotions safely. I take great pride in helping my clients ease their anxiety, learn to cope with their depression, and move confidently throughout difficult life transitions.
Much like life, therapy is a journey. I am honored to be a therapist and honored you may have considered me to be a part of your therapeutic journey. If you are ready to take the next step and receive the best possible care for you, your teen, or your relationship, please reach out via phone or email. I look forward to collaborating with you.
