If you're here, something in your life may feel heavy, uncertain, or stuck. You don’t have to navigate this stage of life alone. I work with college students and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. This stage of life can bring pressure to “have it all together,” even when you feel overwhelmed underneath. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything. You show up as you are, and together we build clarity, practical coping skills, confidence, and resilience. I hold a master’s degree in social work and a bachelor’s degree in communication, and my approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to tailor our work to your goals and experiences. Reaching out is often the hardest step-and it can also be the beginning of meaningful growth. If you’re ready, I invite you to connect so we can take the next step together.

I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating challenges related to addictive processes, substance abuse, relationship and codependency issues, trauma/PTSD, and life transitions. My approach is deeply rooted in guiding you back to yourself — to your innate power and inner radiance. Together, we will explore the external systems and influences that may have caused you to forget your true nature, and uncover the burdens that were never yours to carry. We will also look at how you may have distanced yourself from who you really are. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to explore your past and unconscious. This process helps you bring the unconscious into awareness, integrating all parts of yourself to create a life of alignment and authenticity. This work not only deepens your self-awareness but enhances your relationships with others. The therapeutic relationship is at the core of our work together. I am here to hold and confront you – while staying consistent and loving – which creates pathways for growth. Over time, you'll carry this connection into your life, building a stronger sense of self. Embracing your wounds with love transforms them, guiding you toward healing and light.
