I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe sharing experiences they may not feel comfortable discussing elsewhere. I focus on holding space for clients to openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while feeling genuinely heard and validated. My approach emphasizes building trust, fostering emotional awareness, and helping clients recognize patterns that may be contributing to stress or emotional distress. I support clients in developing healthy coping skills and strengthening emotional regulation, always meeting them where they are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering.

I primarily work with teenagers navigating stress related to peer relationships, family dynamics, and emerging romantic relationships. Many of the clients I support feel pressure to meet expectations at home while also trying to fit in socially, often feeling torn between who they are and who they believe they should be. These challenges may show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulty expressing needs, or a fear of disappointing others. I offer a safe, consistent space where teens can explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.

My goal is to help clients build healthier coping strategies, improve communication skills, strengthen confidence, and develop a clearer sense of identity. Above all, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, respect, and compassion, where clients feel seen as whole individuals rather than defined by their challenges. I view therapy as a collaborative process and aim to ensure clients feel valued, supported, and understood from the very beginning as they work toward meaningful, sustainable change.
