Add emotions that hit harder than you can manage and the pressure of school, friendships, and figuring out who you are, and it can feel like a lot to hold. Right now you might be feeling anxious and not good enough, exhausted by the pressure to keep it all together.

I am Emily, and I help teens and young adults quiet that harsh inner voice, ease anxiety, and steady big emotions. Together we make sense of where the self-criticism came from and build tools that actually help you feel more grounded and confident in who you are. I take your worries seriously without making them feel heavier, and I move at a pace that feels safe, so therapy becomes a place you can finally exhale rather than one more thing to get right.

I also work with social and performance anxiety, perfectionism and people-pleasing, low mood, body image, and the friendship struggles and loneliness that can make this stage of life feel so isolating, and I have a soft spot for clients who are just realizing that ADHD explains a lot. I keep sessions relaxed and real, more like talking to someone who genuinely gets it than sitting in a clinical office.

If you are ready to be a little kinder to yourself, reach out for a complimentary consultation. It is just a low-pressure way to see whether I feel like the right person to talk to.
