Therapy
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADOLESCENTS & ADULTS
Therapy That Makes Room for Where You Are and Where You Want to Go
You may know that something needs to change without knowing exactly what that change should look like.
Therapy can give you space to understand what’s underneath the anxiety, overwhelm, relationship patterns, self-doubt, or experiences that keep showing up in your life, while also helping you build practical ways to move forward.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in what actually feels useful for you.

MAYBE THIS FEELS FAMILIAR
You’ve Been Holding a Lot Together.
Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on, but lately you’re realizing how exhausting it is to always be the one who keeps things together.
Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You replay conversations, think through every possible outcome, question your decisions, or find yourself preparing for things that haven’t even happened.
Maybe you’ve gotten so used to putting other people first that you’re not always sure what you need anymore.
Or maybe life has changed in ways you didn’t expect. A relationship feels different. Work has become overwhelming. Something from your past keeps showing up in the present. You’re trying to set boundaries, communicate differently, rebuild your confidence, or simply understand why certain patterns are so hard to change.
You don’t need to have the perfect words for what’s happening.
Sometimes therapy starts with simply knowing, “I don’t want to keep feeling like this.”
You might recognize yourself in…
Overthinking and constantly second-guessing yourself
Feeling responsible for everyone else's feelings
Saying yes when you really want to say no
Feeling anxious even when things seem “fine”
Struggling to communicate what you need
Being hard on yourself when you make mistakes
Feeling emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed
Difficulty trusting or feeling secure in relationships
Carrying experiences from the past that still affect you
Knowing a pattern isn't working but not knowing how to change itWe can start with what feels hardest right now and figure out the rest together.
What We Can Work On Together
You don’t have to fit neatly into one category to come to therapy. What you’re experiencing may involve anxiety, relationships, past experiences, self-esteem, major life changes, or several things at once.
We’ll look at what’s happening in your life, what may be contributing to it, and what would feel meaningful to work toward.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
Anxiety • Overthinking • Stress • Perfectionism • Health Anxiety • OCD • Emotional Overwhelm
When your mind rarely slows down, you're constantly anticipating what could go wrong, or it feels difficult to relax even when everything seems okay.
Trauma & Difficult Experiences
Trauma • PTSD • Grief & Loss • Difficult Family Experiences • Life Transitions
Making sense of experiences that continue to affect how you feel, respond, connect with others, or move through your life today.
Not sure where what you're experiencing fits? That's okay. We can talk about what's been going on and determine together whether I may be a good fit for what you need.AREAS OF SUPPORT
Relationships & Boundaries
Boundaries • Communication • People-Pleasing • Family Conflict • Relationship Patterns • Codependency
Learning to communicate more directly, recognize your needs, navigate conflict, and create relationships that don't require you to lose yourself in the process.
Self-Worth & Understanding Yourself
Self-Esteem • Identity • ADHD • Autism • Executive Functioning • Confidence • Self-Advocacy
Understanding yourself with more curiosity and less judgment while developing strategies that work with who you are rather than constantly feeling like you should be different.
Collaborative
We work together.
You know your life better than anyone else. I'll bring clinical knowledge, questions, perspective, and tools while making space for your voice in where therapy goes.
My Approach
Therapy Should Feel Useful, Not Like You’re Just Talking in Circles.
I believe there is value in having space to talk, process, and feel understood. But I also believe therapy should help you make sense of what you're experiencing and give you something you can actually use outside of our sessions.
Our work may include slowing down and exploring where certain patterns came from, noticing what keeps them going, practicing new ways of communicating, challenging thoughts that no longer serve you, or finding practical strategies that make everyday life feel more manageable.
I don't expect you to show up knowing exactly what to talk about or having everything figured out. We can start with what feels most important that day while still keeping sight of the bigger picture and the goals we're working toward.
Practical
We connect insight to action.
Understanding why something happens matters. We'll also explore what you can do with that understanding in your everyday life.
The goal is to understand yourself better and build ways of responding that work better for the life you want.
Individualized
Therapy doesn't have to look the same for everyone.
We'll draw from different therapeutic approaches and strategies based on your needs, goals, personality, and what actually feels helpful.
My work may incorporate approaches including CBT, DBT-informed skills, ACT, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, interpersonal approaches, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-informed interventions based on your needs.
Honest & Supportive
There is room for both compassion and accountability.
I'll support you without assuming that support always means agreeing with you. Sometimes our work may include gently looking at patterns, choices, or perspectives that are keeping you stuck.
What Sessions Can Look Like
Not every session needs to look the same.
Some days, you may need space to talk through something that happened that week. Other days, we may slow down and look more closely at a pattern, practice a difficult conversation, work through an exercise together, or find a strategy you can try outside of therapy.
I like therapy to have enough structure that we're moving toward something, while still leaving room for real life to walk through the door.
It Might Include:
💬 Talking It Through
🔗 Connecting the Dots
🗣 Practicing the Conversation
💡 Learning What's Happening
✏️ Trying Something Together
→ Taking Something With You
INSIDE THE THERAPY ROOM
Sometimes We’ll Talk. Sometimes We’ll Practice. Usually, It’s a Little of Both.
