My Approach to Therapy

You may be dealing with anxiety that feels hard to shut off, getting stuck in the same relationship patterns, feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, or noticing that you just don’t feel like yourself lately. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and families around anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, relationships, trauma, substance use, self-esteem and identity, and major life transitions. I also work closely with LGBTQIA+ clients and with parents and families who want to strengthen communication and better understand each other. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I want to understand what’s happening in your life, but also why you may keep finding yourself in the same patterns, relationships, or situations. Together, we’ll look at what’s driving those patterns, how they’re affecting you now, and what you can start doing differently.
