Thinking about starting therapy or getting your child started? I’m here to give you a little motivational nudge in the right direction. Let's get rid of the outdated stigma: seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy isn’t just for when things go wrong; it’s also about personal growth! Let’s be real, we all spend so much time scrolling through social media, comparing ourselves to curated lives. Therapy can help you tune out that noise and focus on what truly matters—your own well-being. You owe it to yourself to invest in your mental health. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience with children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with sport related stressors/student-athlete balance, adjusting to life changes, generalized anxiety, depression, identity exploration (including gender identity and sexual orientation), and low self-esteem.

Imagine having a safe space where you can unload all your worries, fears, and thoughts without judgment. Yep, that’s what therapy with me can offer. I will provide an unbiased perspective, guiding you through the fog and helping you discover coping strategies you might never have considered on your own. Take a chance and invest in your mental health!
