I'm passionate about helping you navigate life's transitions and find clarity during uncertain times. Whether you're adjusting to college, shifting careers, or facing another major life change, it's natural to feel overwhelmed or stuck. But transitions don't just affect the moment you're in-they often bring up deeper questions about who you are, what you want, and how to build a life that feels truly fulfilling. Therapy isn't just about getting through this chapter; it's about gaining the tools and self-awareness to navigate whatever comes next with confidence and clarity. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you through these pivotal moments.

Clients often describe me as calm and supportive, and I strive to create a space where you can share your thoughts and emotions at your own pace—without pressure or judgment. Our sessions will be a mix of meaningful conversations and lighthearted moments, helping you explore what matters most while feeling truly heard. Therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, and together, we’ll uncover patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and build lasting strategies for resilience and growth.

Through thoughtful reflection and practical tools, we’ll work together to help you gain insight into your emotions, patterns, and behaviors. Part of this exploration may involve looking at habits that no longer serve you—whether it’s unhealthy coping mechanisms, patterns of avoidance, or ways of thinking that keep you feeling stuck. My ultimate aim is to help you not just regain balance in this moment, but feel equipped for all the changes life brings. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s work together to create a path that fosters growth, clarity, and confidence—now and for the future.
