Individual Counseling
Depression, fear, and anxiety are among the most common and challenging emotions we may encounter in life. Through supportive counseling, you can regain the motivation, perspective, and joy that once enriched your life.
Counseling for Teens & Families
I address the complex issues adolescents face, such as anxiety, depression, academic pressure, and social challenges. Additionally, I focus on improving family dynamics through effective communication, conflict resolution, and strengthening relationships. By integrating individual and family therapy sessions, I aim to foster emotional resilience, understanding, and harmony within the family unit.
Support for Families with children on the spectrum
I offer one-on-one individual therapy and support groups for parents, providing a space to connect, share experiences, and receive guidance. Additionally, I provide support tailored to the unique needs of siblings.
Telehealth Options
I offer both in-person and online counseling options. We will decide together what is the best option for your needs.

Life is full of changes, and navigating them can be overwhelming. Whether you're a teen dealing with school pressures, a young adult balancing friendships and work, or an adult working through marriage, parenthood, or rediscovering yourself, these transitions often come with anxiety and uncertainty. It’s normal to feel lost, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I specialize in helping my clients work through:
- Life Transitions: Major changes like starting college, entering a new career, marriage, parenthood, or the challenges of midlife.
- Depression and Anxiety: Whether driven by stress, isolation, or the weight of life’s demands, we’ll work together using a cognitive behavioral approach to develop coping strategies and manage negative thought patterns.
- Relationship and Social Dynamics: Supporting clients in navigating the complexities of relationships—whether in school, work, or personal life—and finding balance between connection and independence.
- Rediscovering Yourself: If you feel like you’ve lost sight of who you are, I’m here to help you reconnect with your identity, purpose, and goals.
My primary modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Through a cognitive-behavioral approach, I help clients not only understand their thoughts and emotions but also take actionable steps toward meaningful, lasting change. With EMDR, I support clients in processing past trauma and reframing distressing experiences, enabling them to move forward with greater resilience and confidence. Together, we work on finding clarity amid life’s transitions, empowering clients to navigate challenges with a renewed sense of purpose and self-understanding.
