Life can be difficult to navigate when anxiety, stress, strong emotions, relationship challenges, or major life changes begin to feel overwhelming. Sometimes you may know exactly what is bothering you, while other times you may simply feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, emotional and behavioral difficulties, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and difficulties with self-esteem or finding direction.
My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, and person-centered. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and having a space where you can speak openly without feeling judged or pressured. Rather than assuming there is one approach that works for everyone, I work to understand you as an individual and tailor therapy around your needs, personality, experiences, and goals. My work is also influenced by existential and mindfulness-based approaches, with an emphasis on understanding yourself, your relationships, the choices available to you, and what gives your life meaning. With younger people, I may also incorporate play, art, and creative activities when those provide a more natural way to communicate and explore their experiences.
You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Whether you are facing something specific, going through a difficult transition, or simply trying to better understand yourself and where you want to go from here, we can begin wherever you are. My goal is to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and authenticity and work alongside you toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments and welcome you to reach out if you feel we may be a good fit.
