Areas of Expertise

Therapy with me may be helpful for you if…

  • Whether it shows up as constant worry, overthinking, panic, or perfectionism, we’ll work together to understand your patterns and develop tools to help you feel more secure and in control.

  • Change can be hard, even when it’s expected. I help clients navigate shifts in identity, relationships, school, career, or routines; especially when those changes feel disorienting or emotionally charged.

  • I support kids and families in working through emotional and behavioral struggles, school-related issues, and childhood trauma. Whether it's anxiety, school refusal, trauma, or adjustment issues, I help children feel seen and supported.

  • When past experiences are still affecting your present, therapy can offer a space to process safely and move toward healing. I use a trauma-informed lens to help you regain a sense of safety, agency, and self-compassion.

Sound like you?

“I feel stuck, but I don’t want to burden anyone with what I’m feeling.”


“I know it’s irrational, but I can’t stop overthinking this.”


“I’m doing my best to support my child, but I feel stretched thin.”


“I’m trying to adjust, but this change feels overwhelming.”

What we’ll work on

In sessions, we might…

  • Process what’s on your mind this week.

  • Explore your values and reflect on what drives you.

  • Dive beneath the surface to see how your past is impacting you.

  • Take a closer look at how you cope and build new skills.

  • Strengthen your ability to put words to what you’re feeling.

  • And likely spend some time chatting about your favorite TV show or the meme you saw yesterday!
