Whether it’s navigating social media drama, dealing with intense emotions, or working through big moments with friends, or school, I’m here to have your back.

Let’s be real—everyone deserves someone who actually listens and understands what they’re going through, no judgment. Having a safe space to talk things out can make a huge difference. The choices you make today shape your future, and having the right support makes all the difference. I’m here to help you sort through it all and live a life that feels true to you.
