Holy Cow!  Adulting is hard. But you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're juggling classes, figuring out relationships, questioning everything, or just feeling like you're barely keeping it together- that's real, and it makes sense. Life throws a lot at you all at once, and sometimes anxiety, depression, or a major transition can make it feel completely overwhelming. I specialize in working with older adolescents and young adults navigating exactly this stuff: school stress, relationship changes, identity, life transitions, and the emotional weight of it all.

Finding a therapist can feel awkward or even a little schary - I get it. My goal is to make is feel like the opposite of that. Our work together is build on trust, mutual respect and a space where you can actually say what's on your mind without judgement.

I tailor my approach to what you need, drawing on CBT, DBT, EMDR, and person-centered therapy- because no two people are the same, and treatment shouldn't be either. Here's the truth: reaching out is genuinrly the hardest step. You've already done it. Now let's see if we're a good fit - no pressure, just a conversation.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, reading and crafts.

Oliver joined Bayside Counseling in February of 2020. The COVID shutdown affected him, just like it affected most of us. Once we were able to meet again in masks, he became anxious. To this day, he is working on his coping skills as part of his mental health support journey and doing very well! Once one-on-one in the office, he is a peaceful energy, and if needed, a warm, friendly head/back to pet. He is a wonderful example of how  having anxiety is okay and that it can get better. When Ollie is not at work, he enjoys jumping on his humans, swimming in the bay, and rough housing with his little brother, Butter. If you see him in the office, he is more likely to come to you if you are sitting and he can approach on his own.
