Clients come to me because they are tired of being depressed and anxious. They have had enough of just getting through the day, not remembering the last time they felt good, or laughed and meant it. Hiding behind a mask of “Oh, everything is fine!” while underneath they feel there’s no enjoyment in their life anymore; it’s too hard! Depression puts you in a dark place and can drain all of your motivation to try anything. Even the simplest of things can seem too much of an effort. They can be misunderstood by family, and friends, at work or school, leading to anxiety and finding it even harder to control their worries. I can help!

Young adults who may need extra support and guidance as they transition into their education and careers: I would like to help you navigate independence and responsibility while making sure you're making smart and healthy choices. Adults who are working a program of addiction recovery: I would like to help support you in your recovery and in processing and integrating difficult or traumatic life experiences. Individuals who are taking the first and courageous step toward therapy: I would like to help you develop awareness, improve your relationships, change your behavior, and make successful life transitions.

Are you feeling unsure of who you are or what you want to do with your life? Perhaps a recent life change has left you feeling lost, or you are just ready to take charge of your own life - it can be difficult to differentiate your true self from what you've always been told you were, or should be. I aim to nonjudgmentally support you in identifying your foundational strengths, interests, and personal values so you can begin to build a life befitting you.
