Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you're navigating anxiety, obsessive thoughts, perfectionism, ADHD, difficult relationships, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
Therapy offers something many people don't often experience: a space to slow down, make sense of what you're going through, and better understand yourself without fear of judgment.
My goal is not simply to help reduce symptoms. It is to help you understand the underlying patterns contributing to your experiences while developing practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change. Together, we work toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and confidence in navigating life's challenges.
I provide counseling for adolescents and young adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental concerns.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, therapy is individualized to each person's unique strengths, needs, and goals. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, treatment is collaborative and evolves as your understanding, confidence, and needs change over time.
Therapy may be helpful when someone is experiencing:
Sometimes people begin therapy because they know exactly what they are struggling with. Other times, they simply recognize that something doesn't feel right. Both are valid places to begin.
No two people experience life in exactly the same way, which is why no two therapy journeys should look the same.
I strive to create a relaxed, collaborative, and supportive environment where adolescents and young adults feel safe asking difficult questions, exploring complicated emotions, and working toward meaningful goals at their own pace.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and scientific evidence. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I work to understand the underlying mechanisms contributing to emotional distress so treatment can be individualized, practical, and meaningful.
Together, we work to build insight, strengthen resilience, increase flexibility, and develop practical strategies that support lasting growth both inside and outside of therapy.
Treatment is individualized and may incorporate evidence-based approaches including:
Treatment recommendations are discussed collaboratively and adjusted as therapy progresses.
My clinical interests include working with adolescents and young adults experiencing:
I have a particular clinical interest in supporting girls and young women whose experiences with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, autism, and executive functioning challenges are often overlooked or misunderstood. I also enjoy working with student-athletes as they balance academic demands, athletic performance, and emotional well-being.
When working with adolescents, I believe meaningful progress often occurs when therapy is supported by collaboration outside the therapy office.
When appropriate, I work closely with parents, schools, physicians, and other professionals to help ensure that recommendations are practical, consistent, and supportive across settings while respecting each adolescent's confidentiality and developmental needs.
Complimentary Consultation
We begin with a complimentary 15–20 minute consultation to discuss your concerns, answer questions, and determine whether counseling is the right fit.
Intake Appointment
If we decide to move forward, the first session focuses on developing a thorough understanding of current concerns, relevant history, strengths, and treatment goals.
Collaborative Treatment Planning
Early sessions are dedicated to building rapport, identifying priorities, and developing an individualized treatment plan that reflects your unique needs and goals.
Ongoing Therapy
Therapy progresses at a pace that feels both supportive and appropriately challenging. Sessions are individualized and may include skill development, emotional processing, exposure-based interventions, executive functioning support, or parent consultation depending on each person's needs.
Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available, and the most appropriate format can be discussed during the consultation process.
My hope is that therapy provides more than symptom relief.
I hope it becomes a place where you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop greater confidence in your ability to navigate life's challenges, and discover strengths you may not have recognized before.
Because meaningful change begins with understanding and understanding often creates hope.
