Services

I offer therapy for teens, young adults, and adults looking to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change.

  • You may be navigating the pressure to succeed, changes in friendships, or figuring out who you are. Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and build skills to manage stress, relationships, and self-doubt. I balance warmth and structure, helping you feel both supported and capable of growth.

    Teens often benefit from a grounded, nonjudgmental space where they can be honest about their emotions, stressors, and relationships. Our work blends skill-building with space to explore identity, confidence, and the pressures they face. When helpful, I also collaborate with parents to strengthen support outside of sessions and ensure the teen feels understood and supported from all angles.

  • Many adults come to therapy feeling stuck in old patterns, repeating dynamics that leave them feeling unseen, anxious, or disconnected. Together, we’ll uncover where these patterns began and experiment with new ways of thinking and relating that align with your values and goals.

    In our early work, we often use schema questionnaires and other reflective tools to better understand the beliefs and patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and sense of self. Many people find this process deeply validating and clarifying. As we build your case conceptualization together, these insights guide our work and balance exploration with practical strategies and gentle challenge to help you shift long-standing habits and feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

  • If you’re struggling with falling or staying asleep, we’ll use Cognitive Cehavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and other evidence-based tools to restore balance. Our work goes beyond sleep itself, addressing the stress and perfectionism that often keep rest out of reach.

    CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps retrain your sleep system. Together, we’ll identity the thoughts and behaviors disrupting your rest, gradually rebuild your sleep habits, and address the stress or anxiety that often fuels insomnia. Many people experience meaningful improvement within a few weeks and leave with a clearer understanding of how to maintain healthy sleep long-term.

Therapy is a collaborative process. In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, explore what brings you in, and identify the patterns or experiences you want to shift. From there, we move at a pace that feels comfortable and combine insight, exploration, and practical tools to support lasting change. Read more about my approach here.
