Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck.
Life transitions can feel overwhelming. Whether you’ve finished school and aren’t sure what’s next, or you’re feeling lost in your career or relationships.
You’ve been comparing yourself to others, wondering why everyone else seems to “have it together,” and inside you feel anxious, depressed, or unsure of your direction.
You’re feeling the stress of navigating independence, building a career, and managing your responsibilities… and you’re left feeling paralyzed, hopeless, or simply exhausted.
What you want most is to feel calmer, more confident, and more clear about where you’re headed. You want to stop second-guessing yourself and instead trust that you have the tools and strategies to handle life’s challenges—whether that’s managing anxiety, coping with depression, or navigating the ups and downs of relationships, school, or work.
I CAN HELP.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience supporting young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity questions.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical—I believe therapy should give you tools you can use both now and long after our sessions together.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness practices, yoga-based movement, and breathing strategies. I also integrate self-care and customized “homework” so growth continues outside of session.
Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to your strengths and goals. I see the therapeutic process as a journey, and I walk alongside you as you gain the skills and confidence to move forward.
I SUPPORT…
Young Adults Navigating Transitions
I empower college students, recent grads, and 20-somethings who are navigating independence, identity, relationships, and the pressure to “figure it all out.”
Adults Facing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
I support adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out to find relief, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.
Career and Life Path Seekers
Whether you’re considering a career change, pursuing personal growth, or simply searching for clarity, I provide space and strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health
With specialized training in perinatal mental health, I support women during pregnancy and postpartum who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or the emotional challenges of new motherhood. Together, we build coping skills and connection to help you feel more supported and steady.
