Have you found yourself carrying a lot—emotionally, mentally, sometimes without even realizing just how heavy things have gotten? Maybe you're a teen trying to manage the pressure of school, social expectations, or anxiety that won’t let up or a young adult feeling stuck in self-doubt or overwhelmed by trauma you haven’t had space to process. Or maybe you’re a mom who’s constantly giving to others and starting to feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself in the process. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep holding it all by yourself.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I’m also goal-focused, so while we’ll go deep when we need to, we’ll also stay connected to what matters most to you. If you're ready to start untangling some of what’s weighing you down, I’m here to walk with you through it.
Our sessions will be a space where you can be real—without pressure to perform or “have it all together.” I’m here to listen deeply, offer perspective, and support you in making meaningful, sustainable change. Whether you're here to heal from the past, better understand yourself, or just make life feel a little lighter—I’m honored to walk alongside you.
