I help teens and young adults who feel lost & overwhelmed find their authentic path without sacrificing who they truly are or what matters most to them.

When clients first come to me, they're often:

• Exhausted from trying to maintain a "perfect" image

• Struggling to balance expectations from all directions

• Feeling disconnected from the future they once planned

• Wondering if something is wrong with them

On the outside, everything might look fine. They have friends, participate in activities, and hear phrases like "You're amazing! How do you do it all?" or "You're the person I always count on." But inside? They feel like they're barely holding it together.

Some days, anxiety or depression makes it impossible to attend class, connect with friends, or enjoy activities they once loved. They might face pressure to take time off or change direction. Adding to this, they're navigating a challenging world where many young people—especially those who are transgender, queer, people of color—face additional stressors and threats to their wellbeing.

These feelings create real obstacles. They struggle to be the person they want to be. Their confidence drops. They worry they're letting everyone down, including themselves.

Before therapy, many worried they were giving up on their dreams and would be stuck in these overwhelming feelings forever.

You deserve to feel hopeful, confident, and connected to your vision of who you want to be.

A future where you feel in control and optimistic is absolutely possible. If you're ready to explore what makes you feel truly connected, happy and fulfilled, I'm here to help.

My Approach

I believe that our emotional truths live not only in the mind, but also in the body. As a drama therapist, I often work in a way that increases self-awareness and understanding, and explores how your story (as you see it) and the roles you play in your life impact your sense of self. I use a variety of both verbal and embodied activities and techniques in my work depending on what works best for you.

Clients often describe me as grounded, calm and direct. I have a deep capacity for listening, holding feelings, and sitting in complexity without moving into action immediately. I am both warm and serious; thoughtful and playful. Overall, I take a systems approach, and believe it is essential to look at the context surrounding a person and what they are working on. I take an active role with my clients and like to work collaboratively.
