Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your relationship and worry that you’ll make the wrong decision? Have you had life changes that have been difficult to accept? Do you question if your anxiety will always impact your life? You’re not alone. While it can feel isolating, you’re not the only one experiencing anxiety and uncertainty. And, things can get better. I typically work with clients dealing with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
Are you overwhelmed by negative or unhelpful thoughts and feelings? Is your mind racing and you can’t make it stop? Would it be nice to fall asleep at night with a clear mind? Do you experience trichotillomania or skin-picking? Insomnia? I can help. Change isn’t easy but it’s easier when you have someone to listen without judgement, notice your progress, and cheer you on in a safe, healing, and secular space. There is a more calm and higher functioning you on the other side of this.

Are you currently in transition attempting to figure out what your next move should be or how to navigate current challenges? Do you feel anxious and/or depressed more often than not? Do you use alcohol and/or substances to cope with past traumas or current stressors? Or maybe you're finally ready to live your life on your own terms and need support to start?
Do you feel like you’re going through the motions? Do you appear to be doing well from the outside, but internally you feel overwhelmed, depressed, and disconnected from yourself and others? Do you feel like something has to change, but you aren't sure where to start? Do you numb your emotions with unhealthy behaviors or mindless distractions because it feels easier in the moment, and something about listening to yourself feels unnerving? If so, therapy can help, and I’d love to work with you.
