Are you someone who feels deeply, thinks deeply, and sometimes finds yourself overwhelmed—either in your relationships or your own inner world?

Or are you a parent watching your teen struggle with anxiety, school avoidance, or emotional overwhelm, unsure how to help?

I work with both adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, emotional reactivity, and patterns that feel hard to break—even when they “make sense” in the moment. For teens, this may look like school refusal, shutdown, or increasing avoidance. For adults, it often shows up as overthinking, disconnection, or repeated relationship patterns.

Together, we slow things down and begin to understand what’s underneath these experiences. I help clients build awareness of their internal world while also developing practical ways to respond differently—especially when anxiety or avoidance takes over.

With teens, I use evidence-based, exposure-informed approaches to help them gradually face what feels overwhelming in a supported and manageable way. I also work closely with parents to provide guidance on how to respond to anxiety and avoidance in ways that support progress rather than reinforce the cycle.

Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you understand yourself more fully. I aim to create a space that feels both safe and honest, where your experiences are validated and where we can gently challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or afraid of repeating the same cycles, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, more confident, and more aligned with how you want to show up in your life and relationships.
