Adolescence and early adulthood are full of firsts: first big choices, first heartbreaks, first real questions about who you are. These years are full of growth—but also confusion, pressure, and emotional overwhelm.

I provide affirming, down-to-earth support for teens and young adults who need help managing anxiety, self-worth, school stress, and life transitions. Therapy is a space to ask hard questions, feel deeply, and grow into yourself—without judgment.
