If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, or just unsure of what you’re supposed to be doing with your life, you don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I frequently work with teens and young adults ages 14–23, and I understand that these years can come with a lot of pressure—school, work, friendships, family, relationships, figuring out who you are, and trying to understand where you fit in the world. I’ve worked with people in a variety of mental health settings and have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, mood concerns, substance use, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. More than anything, I want you to feel like you can be yourself with me. I’m a huge fan of movies, comics, and pop culture, and I enjoy finding those shared interests and experiences that can make it easier to connect and talk about what’s really going on. I love exploring how the stories that shape us reflect the times we live in, and I often draw on those shared cultural moments to connect with you in meaningful ways.

My practice is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals and trauma across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood, and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, goals, and strengths.

Throughout my careerI have worked in settings including in-home family therapy with a crisis component, as well as outpatient setting.

I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.
