About Me

I support adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My goal is to provide therapy that feels supportive, collaborative, and grounded—where clients can explore their experiences openly and build greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and client-centered. I value creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to move through challenges at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.


Who I Support

I work with individuals experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • Trauma and difficult life experiences
  • Life transitions and adjustment-related stress
  • Identity exploration and self-understanding
  • Clients seeking supportive, affirming care

My Approach

I take an integrative approach that honors the connection between thoughts, emotions, and lived experience. My work draws from evidence-based and reflective practices, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns
  • Mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional awareness and regulation
  • Trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety, insight, and resilience

My style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating tools that support lasting emotional well-being.
