I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, life transitions, and identity development. My goal is to provide therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded—where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and goals with openness and curiosity.

My work is rooted in holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to build greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance. I believe that therapy should honor each person's unique experiences and provide the support needed to navigate life's challenges with confidence and authenticity.

Who I Support

I support:

• Children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

• Individuals processing trauma and difficult life experiences

• Those experiencing life transitions and identity exploration

• Individuals navigating relationship and interpersonal challenges

• Children and adolescents developing emotional regulation, confidence, and healthy coping skills

With over six years of experience working with youth, I'm especially passionate about supporting children and adolescents as they build confidence, strengthen coping strategies, and navigate the emotional challenges that come with growing up and discovering who they are.

My Approach

My approach is collaborative, reflective, and centered on helping clients better understand themselves and their experiences. I draw from:

• Existential Therapy, which explores meaning, purpose, and personal values

• Narrative Therapy, which helps clients better understand and reshape their personal stories

• Adlerian Therapy, which supports growth, connection, and self-awareness

I believe therapy can serve as a meaningful guide through life's challenges, helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical tools for long-term emotional well-being. Together, we work toward creating lasting change that aligns with your goals, values, and sense of self.

Outside the Therapy Room
