Social Worker | The Sane Shop | Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina

To the teens feeling pressure to mask who you are, to the women overwhelmed by emotions, tough relationships, to survivors of trauma—you’re not alone. Your experience is important. You deserve support. I help neurodivergent teens and Gen Z/Millennial women who feel stuck, anxious, burnt out, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you’re dealing with mood swings, social struggles, anxiety, or the weight of past experiences, we’ll work together to build healthier coping tools, improve communication, and help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to your most authentic self—without having to pretend or shrink yourself.  Together, I'll help you build a toolbox of skills to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and heal from past wounds, empowering you to live in a more fulfilling way.  It's scary to step out of your comfort zone, get into your feels, and/or address past trauma. You owe it to yourself to accept help, though. Seriously! It's vital to me that you find our therapy sessions to be nonjudgmental, welcoming, and worth the time. If you're ready to wade through the heavy stuff, I'm here to walk with you to find lightness again.  You'll leave sessions with clear-cut coping strategies to use in your daily life. It's important to me that you feel like you can walk away from the session with something of value to take with you. (This can be empowering to know you have skills to reference when we're not together.) I'm excited to help you!
