Passion~Purpose~Connection
Being a teen or young adult can feel overwhelming—especially when facing trauma, mental health struggles, or identity challenges. I’m here to help.
As a dually licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Alcohol & Drug Counselor, I specialize in working with adolescents (14-17) experiencing anxiety, complex trauma, substance use, PTSD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and other mental health concerns. I also support young adults (18-29) navigating major life transitions—leaving home, finishing school, starting a career, redefining relationships, and exploring identity, including gender incongruence and gender expression.
I take a holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, using evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor treatment to meet your unique needs. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative, creating a safe, judgment-free space to breathe, reflect, and be heard.
You don’t have to go through this alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s connect and see if we’re a good fit!
