Being a teenager can be overwhelming. School pressure, friendships, family expectations, anxiety, ADHD, and figuring out who you are can all pile up quickly. With a background in school counseling, I understand how academic, social, and emotional challenges often overlap. I work with teens to create a space where they can feel heard without judgment, better understand what they’re experiencing, and build confidence and practical skills for navigating everyday life.

I help women explore and define their dating identity while building the confidence to navigate relationships authentically. Through assertiveness and boundary-setting skills, I empower clients to communicate their needs clearly and confidently. I also provide psychoeducation on relationships of all kinds, helping clients better understand themselves and their connections with others.

I’m especially passionate about supporting and affirming clients with complex or multicultural identities. My favorite part of this work is helping clients strengthen their self-esteem so they can move through the world with greater confidence and self-acceptance. Whether we’re destigmatizing sexuality, challenging body image myths, or building a stronger sense of self, I love seeing clients thrive with pride in who they are and the knowledge to carry them forward.
