I specialize in supporting adolescents (13+) and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’ve been before, I offer a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s weighing on you.

My approach blends Reality Therapy and Mindfulness-Based CBT, allowing us to identify patterns, gain clarity, and focus on practical changes. Our sessions will feel like a natural conversation, but I also provide honest, direct feedback and tools to help you feel more in control of your emotions and decisions.

I work with individuals, couples, and families—especially those who:

• Feel stuck in stress, overwhelm, or burnout
• Are coping with anxiety or depression
• Are newly single, separated, or navigating divorce
• Are experiencing school or work-related challenges
• Prefer a therapy style that is collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical

You don’t need to have all the answers before starting therapy. Whether you’re processing a major life change or just trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to support you with clarity, compassion, and meaningful guidance.
