Creative and Compassionate Therapy

Talking about emotions can be hard—especially for kids and teens. That’s why I believe therapy should be a space where self-expression feels safe, natural, and even creative. Whether through conversation, art, or playful exploration, I help clients of all ages, especially children and adolescents, work through their emotions and life challenges with understanding, care, and encouragement.

As a Clinical Social Work Intern with a strong background in mental health and social services, I’ve worked with individuals ages 3 and up, including those navigating anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, psychosis, and mood disorders. I create a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel supported as they explore their thoughts, build emotional awareness, and learn to manage life’s stressors.

Real Conversations. Gentle Healing. Empowered Growth with​

Sometimes the weight of past experiences, family stress, or overwhelming emotions can feel like too much to carry alone—especially for children, teens, and young adults still trying to understand who they are and where they belong.

I’m especially passionate about supporting youth from minority backgrounds or those who have experienced poverty, single-parent dynamics, foster care involvement, or disruptions in early relationships.

My goal is to create a warm, validating space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported as they build resilience and self-confidence.
