You may know something needs to change, but not quite know how to get there. Maybe anxiety and overthinking are taking up too much space, past experiences continue to affect you, or your child or teen is struggling with big emotions, ADHD, rejection sensitivity, or feeling overwhelmed by school, relationships, or everyday life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. My background as a teacher, school counselor, and therapist gives me a unique understanding of how emotional health, relationships, family dynamics, and school experiences can intersect.
