Effective July 16th, I am welcoming new adult and adolescent (9+) clients. I work with people who are carrying a lot—grief that comes in waves and knocks you down, anxiety that loops and spirals, stress that doesn’t seem to switch off, and emotions that feel too big. Perhaps you're struggling with trying to meet everyone else's needs while ignoring your own or you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stretched too thin, constantly on edge or just simply not like yourself lately. Together, we can slow things down and focus on strategies that will bring you back into balance again.
Therapy shouldn't feel stiff, stale, or impersonal. My style is warm, friendly, and down to earth. I offer a space where emotions are never "too much". Frustration, confusion, hurt, anger, anxious thoughts, and hope are all welcome. Your feelings are never rushed. I will give you the space to pause and process and feel like the priority that you are.
Choosing a therapist can be tough, but keep going! Check out my website or email today to schedule a free 15-30 minute consultation. I would love to meet you!

Grief and Anxiety change how you think, feel, and move through the world. Loss can leave you feeling unanchored and unsure of what comes next. Anxiety can leave you overthinking and questioning everything while your nervous system is constantly on edge. Therapy can provide understanding of emotional patterns, calm anxiety and worry, and give space to process all that feels very overwhelming.
