About Me

Children, teens and young adults commonly experience stress due to school pressure, peer relationships, identity formation, autonomy struggles, and family dynamics. This time of life can also bring openness to new perspectives and an ability to adapt and embrace change.


I am committed to providing a supportive environment during transformative and challenging times. My approach is non-judgmental and compassionate, and I work with my clients to identify their unique strengths and develop new skills to achieve their goals.​​​
