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.
