Do you want a therapist that is focused on getting you results? It is my goal to ensure you tangibly see and feel the change within yourself. I provide specialized therapy for teens and 20-30 somethings that are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and trauma. I love this population because I️ understand the struggles that our generation faces while also having the tools to help you navigate it. Being an anxiety and trauma specialist, I have helped young adults navigate coping with stress, find their identity, make good decisions, manage mental health and improve their relationships.
I️ have a direct but compassionate approach focused on results-driven treatment tailored to your exact needs. Therapy is not a one- size-fits-all, and I use Feedback-Informed Therapy to ensure you are getting what you need. I use an app to track your progress, and make sure we are targeting your goals each session. I️ want you satisfied after each session.
After working with me, I️ want you to feel confident in managing your mental health, to have thriving relationships, feel excited about where life is heading, and that you are in control of your circumstances. Don't be shy- there's no harm in reaching out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if I'm the right fit for you! Excited to hear from you!

For anxiety and/or trauma therapy, I️ usually recommend 6-12 consecutive weekly sessions to build a foundation of CBT, DBT, and solution-focused coping tools. At that point, I️ want you feeling hopeful and stable. Typically, clients remain weekly for about 10-16 weeks, and then switch to bi-weekly when they start to REALLY see and feel the positive and lasting changes from our work together.
