My focus
I specialize in helping teens and adults who are facing: • Anxiety and depression • Trauma and PTSD • Bipolar disorder and cyclothymic disorder • Autism and neurological concerns • ADHD and attention challenges • Stress, burnout, and major life transitions • Domestic violence and emotional abuse • OCD and chronic worry • Mood disorders and emotional instability • Grief, loss, and long term sadness • Low self-esteem and trouble feeling confident • Difficulty coping, insomnia, and adjustment disorders
Many of my clients feel like they have been carrying too much for too long. Together we work on understanding what is happening inside your mind and body, building healthier coping tools, and helping you reconnect with strength you may have lost along the way.
My communication style
I am calm, steady, and very patient. I listen closely and speak clearly so you always know what is happening in your care. I move at your pace and create a space where you can express yourself without fear of being judged or misunderstood. You can expect compassion, structure, and support every step of the way.
My journey to mental healthcare
I chose this field because I have always been drawn to helping people through the most difficult parts of their lives. I have seen how deeply mental health challenges affect the mind, body, relationships, and sense of direction. Being able to help someone feel more grounded, more hopeful, and more themselves again is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.
My first session with you
Our first session is simple, comfortable, and focused on what matters most to you. We talk about what you are feeling, what has been hard, and what you want your life to look like. If needed, we complete an evaluation or screening. You leave with a clear plan, a sense of direction, and the comfort of knowing you are not doing this alone.
