About me

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward? You don’t have to face it alone. I help teens (16+) and adults manage anxiety, build confidence, and navigate life’s transitions with more ease and clarity. My approach is grounded in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — a collaborative, strengths-based method that focuses on what’s already working and how to build on it. In our work together, you can expect a warm, judgment-free space where your voice matters. We’ll identify your goals, uncover your strengths, and develop realistic steps toward positive change. Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling more grounded, encouraged, and ready to take the next step toward balance. Whether you’re adjusting to a new phase of life, struggling with self-doubt, or simply wanting to feel more at peace, I’m here to support you in creating the life you want — one step at a time.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. We’ll explore what’s going well, what feels challenging, and what you hope to achieve. I’ll also ask questions about different parts of your life — like your relationships, work or school, and emotional well-being — to understand your experiences more fully. You’ll have space to ask questions and see how my approach fits your needs. There’s no pressure to have all the answers — we’ll move at your pace and begin shaping a plan that feels both meaningful and doable. Many clients say they feel an immediate sense of relief after the first session, knowing they finally have a space to talk things through openly.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring warmth, empathy, and a clear, goal-oriented focus to every session. My clients describe me as supportive yet practical — someone who helps them see their strengths and take actionable steps toward change. Together, we’ll work to build self-awareness, develop healthier boundaries, and strengthen emotional balance. Clients often share that they leave our sessions feeling heard, empowered, and more confident in their ability to handle challenges. Whether you’re a high-achieving teen managing stress or an adult adjusting to life’s transitions, I’ll help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with teens (16+) and adults who appear to have it together on the outside but are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck inside. You might be navigating change, questioning your direction, or trying to find a better balance between your responsibilities and emotional health. My style is warm, supportive, and solution-focused — I help you uncover what’s already working and use those strengths to create lasting change. Clients often say our sessions help them feel calmer, more in control, and hopeful about the future. If you’re ready to reduce stress, feel more grounded, and build fulfilling relationships, I’m here to help you take that next step.
