I specialize in working with teens and young adults, especially hard-to-engage teen boys who struggle with emotional expression and think therapy is "not for them". I practice from a compassionate, genuine, non-judgmental lens and focus on creating a safe space in which each individual feels heard and understood. I help individuals build awareness, growth, and change. 

Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but I promise to create a warm and non-judgmental space where your concerns will be heard and validated. Together, we will embark on a collaborative journey towards finding balance, self-acceptance, and greater fulfillment in life.

I’m here to help you thrive

Collaborate

With a client-centered approach, I will collaborate with you to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. Together, we will work on developing effective coping strategies, enhancing self-awareness, and cultivating healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

Empower

Whether you are seeking individual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, or you want to improve your overall well-being, I am committed to empowering you on your journey towards healing and personal transformation.

Overcome Obstacles

My therapeutic style draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy and I utilize solution-focused and strength based strategies.. By combining these approaches, I strive to help you gain new insights, develop resilience, and find the inner strength needed to overcome obstacles.
