Life is hard, and I want to help you navigate it. Whether your struggles are personal or relationship-based, big or small, you deserve support. I work with teens and adults using a blend of Person-Centered, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused therapy, tailoring care to what matters most to you. These approaches can be applied to many concerns, including anxiety, emotional regulation, or life transitions. I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients and believe we can find meaningful solutions together.
