Life doesn’t come with a manual, especially during transitions. You’re trying to figure out who you are, where you're going, and how to manage everything from school, relationships, work, and just... existing. Maybe you're in college or recently graduated, or you're trying to adult for real—but anxiety, low motivation, or just feeling stuck is getting in the way. If you're navigating big life transitions, struggling with overthinking, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, or mild depression, you're not alone. These years can be exciting—but also overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with Adults, emerging adults and young professionals who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and connected. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore your thoughts without judgment, build tools that actually work for you, and move from just surviving to genuinely living. Therapy with me is collaborative, real, and tailored to what you need—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I bring warmth, honesty, and a sense of humor when it's needed most. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to it, you're welcome here. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Let’s start where you are. Please schedule directly with my website
