Clients come to me when…

They feel stuck in mental loops that don’t lead anywhere.
They need support as they work through life’s stress and transitions.
working with teens
I’m here to help you stop overthinking everything and doubting yourself all the time. We’ll talk through what keeps you stuck in your head and find ways to boost your confidence, so you can feel more sure of yourself and actually enjoy life without holding back.
I can help with teen depression, teen anxiety, ADHD, and self-esteem. If you have questions, contact us here.
Couples & Marriage Therapy
I help partners who feel overwhelmed by conflict and distance in their relationship learn tools for real communication and deeper understanding. By navigating disagreements with more clarity and empathy, they can rebuild their emotional connection. My goal is to help them feel more connected and hopeful about their future together.
Working with adults
I can help you get out of the exhausting cycle of overthinking and self-doubt that makes its way into your relationships. Together, we’ll explore why you get stuck in your head, uncover the patterns that keep you second-guessing yourself, and build trust in your own instincts. My goal is to help you feel more secure in yourself and your relationships so you can fully engage in life instead of holding yourself back.
