Learn moreWho I Work With
I work with adults from diverse cultures and backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of life challenges.
Young Adults
I enjoy working with young adults who are navigating relationships, identity, life transitions, anxiety, and the pressures of becoming independent. They often want to better understand themselves, build confidence, improve relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping with challenges.
College Students
I work with college students experiencing anxiety, depression, academic or social pressures, relationship challenges, and uncertainty about the future. They often want to feel more balanced, manage difficult emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier coping skills.
Relationships & Divorce
I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are experiencing relationship difficulties, communication problems, separation, or divorce. They often want to improve communication, understand relationship patterns, heal from past experiences, make thoughtful decisions, and move forward in a healthier way.
Parents and Families
I work with parents who are struggling with parenting challenges, communication with their children, family dynamics, or the changes that come with different stages of their children’s development. They often want to better understand their children, strengthen their relationships, and feel more confident in their parenting.
Life Transitions
I enjoy helping adults who are going through significant life transitions and trying to adjust to a new stage of life. They may be experiencing grief, changes in relationships, family challenges, or uncertainty about what comes next. They often want greater clarity, acceptance, and a healthier perspective as they move forward.
People who are motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives tend to benefit most from my therapy style. My approach is especially well suited for individuals and couples who are ready for growth, open to self-reflection, and willing to explore new perspectives. Flexibility, curiosity, and a genuine desire to create positive change can help clients make the most of our work together.
Sound Familiar?
Clients often share concerns related to childhood trauma, their relationships with their parents, or the impact of their parents’ relationship with each other. I also frequently work with individuals and families navigating divorce, as well as college students experiencing depression and anxiety. Parenting concerns are another common area of focus.
These are the kinds of concerns that make me think, “Yes, I work with this all the time.”
