I am passionate about helping both adolescents and adults navigate life’s ups and downs to restore stability and balance to their lives. Together, we will work on overcoming barriers and nurturing your mental wellness within a judgment-free space. I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and respect and combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the gentle art of Mindfulness Therapy. Mindfulness isn’t just about meditation; it’s a powerful ally to better understand ourselves, reduce stress, and find clarity in the chaos. My deep commitment to client-centered care creates a trusting setting where all clients feel free to address their concerns.

Working with adolescents, I have seen firsthand the unique challenges and pressures young people face and have dedicated myself to building a safe place where teens feel understood and championed as they grapple with the complexities of growing up. I use strategies tailored to young minds to aid decision-making, self-esteem, stress management, emotional regulation, communication, and healthy peer relationships.

For adults struggling with life’s hurdles, I am here to offer a compassionate ear and help you develop useful skills to build resilience and become your most authentic self. I foster a warm, accepting environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify and alter negative thought patterns, and make meaningful life changes.
