(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA)
I welcome all clients regardless of racial or gender identity and offer a safe environment for anyone seeking support. Just reach out when your'e ready.
As a passionate and dedicated therapist, I specialize in working with teens and college students who are navigating the unique challenges of adolescence and early adulthood. With a deep understanding of the pressures of academic performance, social relationships, and identity development, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where young people can explore their feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. My approach is client-centered and culturally responsive, ensuring that each individual feels heard and understood. I believe in empowering my clients to take charge of their mental health and work collaboratively to find solutions tailored to their needs. Whether it's managing stress, overcoming academic challenges, or navigating difficult family dynamics, I am committed to helping young people thrive during some of the most formative years of their lives.
