I’ve spent my entire career walking alongside children and families - first as a school social worker, then as a clinician. I became a therapist because I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported as they grow into themselves. Helping young people move through being emotionally stuck and reconnect with their inner strength is one of the most meaningful roles I can hold.

I work best with children and adolescents who may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, big emotions, or identity challenges. My relational and somatic approach helps them build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and develop more trust in themselves and the world around them.

I’m especially passionate about supporting tweens and teens during life transitions, identity development, and emotional regulation challenges. This age is so formative, and I love creating a safe space where they can express themselves, develop self-trust, and begin to thrive socially, emotionally, and internally.

You’re not broken, you’re human, and your emotions -no matter how big or confusing - make sense in the context of your experiences. Healing isn’t about fixing who you are, but about learning how to trust and befriend yourself again.

I’m inspired by the resilience and insight of young people - how they make sense of their world and keep showing up, even when things feel hard. Witnessing them reconnect with their voice, power, and sense of self keeps me grounded in the “why” behind this work every day.

In our first session, clients can expect a calm, supportive space to just be. No pressure, no expectations, just an invitation to breathe, to share whatever feels ready, and to begin building trust. We’ll focus on understanding what’s bringing you in and how we can move forward together at your pace.

My goal in the first session is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and not alone. It’s less about diving into everything at once, and more about making a genuine connection, so you know that no matter what you’re walking through, you have someone walking alongside you.

The most powerful work we’ll do together starts with your willingness to show up in your truth - messy, real, and whole. I will meet you with compassion and curiosity, but the work only goes as deep as you’re willing to go with yourself. You’re not alone in this. And you won’t have to pretend to be.
