I'm passionate about working with teenage girls (ages 14 to 18) facing anxiety, social pressure, difficulty attending school, changing friendships, dating concerns, or challenging relationships at home. Parents/guardians may notice withdrawal, emotional overwhelm, harsh self-criticism, or a growing reluctance to participate in school and daily life. Therapy may help your teenager understand what's driving their reactions, recognize recurring patterns, and try new responses that support the changes they want to make.

I draw from emotion-focused, parts-based, and cognitive approaches to help adolescents better understand their emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. My style is warm but direct, and flows at a pace that allows trust to develop. I also tend to incorporate visual or art-based activities when helpful.

Being a teenager can be hard in ways adults sometimes forget. My goal is creating a safe space where your teenager's experiences are taken seriously. I invest in collaborating with parents/guardians, while keeping your teenager's needs, voice, and growing autonomy at the center. If this feels right for your family, please reach out any time for consultation.

I practice under clinical supervision while I complete my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I hold an undergraduate degree in psychology and a graduate degree in library and information science.
