Adolescence is a time of profound growth, self-discovery, and change—but it can also
bring confusion, stress, and emotional challenges. In my therapy practice, I provide a
safe, nonjudgmental space where teens can openly express their thoughts and feelings.
Together, we explore their identity
Depression can leave you feeling stuck and hopeless. Through CBT, IFS, and EMDR, I help you reconnect with yourself, challenge negative beliefs, and foster healing and self-compassion. ​
