Who do I work with?
Therapy is an intimate, collaborative process. When there’s a strong connection and a shared commitment to the work, therapy can be truly life-changing. For that reason, finding the right fit is important—for both of us.
I have experience working with people across a wide range of ages, racial and cultural backgrounds, and lived experience. While our differences matter and deserve respect, I often find that there is far more that connects us than separates us. I also understand that not every experience fits neatly into a category, and I welcome a conversation to see if we might be a good match, even if you aren't in the below categories.
The following outlines the populations I most commonly work with
Pre-Teen (10-13)
The pre-teen years bring a period of rapid growth and transition. For many, this time is both exciting and confusing. Relationships begin to shift, hormones start to change, and a once-solid sense of self can feel less certain.
Because of these complexities, working with pre-teens requires a gentle and intentional approach. I aim to honor the many changes happening in a pre-teen’s world while creating structure, space for reflection, and open conversation that help them develop a clearer sense of self and more confident decision-making.
Being a teenager comes with ongoing change, growing expectations, and pressure from many directions. With so much happening all at once, it’s not uncommon for teens to feel overwhelmed or unsure of who they are.
This can show up as anxiety, depression, or other emotional struggles. My approach to working with teens is specifically designed to support them during this stage of life, helping them strengthen their sense of identity and develop tools to manage stress and emotions

Young Adulthood (19-24)
Whether you’re in college, starting a career, or figuring out your next step, the transition into early adulthood can hit hard! Relationships shift, stability feels elusive, and suddenly there are far more questions than answers.
As these changes unfold, it’s common to feel disconnected from who you thought you were or uncertain about who you’re becoming.
These struggles often show up alongside anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.
Choosing the right kind of support matters. When help misses the mark, it can leave you feeling labeled, misunderstood, or stuck with a path that doesn’t actually fit your needs. There are other options—and there are better ways to approach these struggles than diagnoses and prescriptions.
Feeling distressed during times of transition is common, but that doesn’t mean you have to carry it alone or accept support that doesn’t feel right. Let’s have a conversation and figure out what will genuinely support you, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Adulthood (25+)
Struggles, Transitions, Changes, Joys, Devastation, Laughs, Love, and so much more.
The world asks more and more of you—more productivity, more certainty, more resilience—often without leaving space for meaning or fulfillment. At some point, it’s natural to wonder: When do I actually get to live? Why do dreams stay deferred to “someday,” instead of becoming part of your life now?
Many of the challenges we face arise when we try to control everything ourselves—avoiding vulnerability, intimacy, and trust in favor of what feels safer or more familiar. While understandable, this often leaves us feeling disconnected from who we truly are.
Today can be a turning point. Change is possible now. While it may not always feel urgent, there often comes a time when ignoring what matters most becomes harder than facing it.
Our work together can help you reimagine who you are and move toward a more authentic, grounded version of yourself. I can support you in living with integrity and honoring the person you are called to be. I can’t do the work for you—but together, we can uncover the values, strengths, passions, and callings that already exist within you and are asking for space to emerge.
When these inner truths are ignored for too long, the quiet nudging often turns into internal tension and distress. Anxiety, depression, substance use, self-destructive patterns, or other coping behaviors may arise—not because something is “wrong” with you, but because something essential is asking to be heard.
Together, we can create space to listen—and honor who you are meant to become.
