Areas of Expertise

  • 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.
