Adult Therapist 18-24
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)
I am a social worker dedicated to supporting young adults as they navigate anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, school or career stress, and the pressure of figuring out what comes next. I understand that this stage of life can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing personal growth, independence, identity, responsibilities, and expectations from others. My background in school-based mental health has given me experience working with individuals facing emotional, behavioral, social, and environmental stressors that can impact their well-being and daily functioning. I take a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach to therapy and believe in creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, build confidence, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help clients develop resilience, clarity, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion.

My goal is to support individuals who may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps by helping them navigate both past and present challenges.
