Who you are, what matters to you, and how to move through feelings that don’t always come with clear instructions.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re in a season of figuring things out
The teens I work with often say therapy with me feels different: more like talking with an older sister who actually listens. We laugh here. We’re honest. We use humor, shared language, and real conversation to build trust.
I stay connected to culture and music because it matters. Songs, lyrics, and shared references often say what words can’t yet — and sometimes we’ll sit with a line from a song that feels exactly like what you’re going through. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or intimidating to be meaningful.
This is a space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out. You can show up as you are.
Figuring out your values, your voice, and what feels true for you. I love supporting teens who are navigating self-esteem, social anxiety, relationships, pressure, and the question of “Who am I becoming?”
When the path feels winding or unpredictable, we slow things down. Together, we explore coping strategies that actually fit your life — tools that feel usable, not overwhelming. We focus on building confidence from the inside out, so growth feels steady instead of forced.
So much of adolescence is about becoming
My two dogs (along with the foster dogs currently staying with me) make sure life never gets too quiet. When appropriate, they sometimes make a guest appearance in sessions.

I draw from approaches such as Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring each session to what best supports the person sitting across from me.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-informed approach that helps the brain process experiences that may still feel stuck or overwhelming. You can learn more about how I use EMDR in my work here.
My goal is always to combine thoughtful training with genuine connection, so therapy feels grounded and human.
