What is it for you...Is it the lack of motivation? The over-thinking? The never feeling good enough or need to be perfect? The “I don’t know who I am?” The loss of identity? The failed or lack of relationship/s? The hopelessness? The unexplained sadness? The lack of support? School Stress? Well sometimes growing up or even life can be very overwhelming and the desperation to feel better as you navigate through can leave you feeling stuck and lost on your next decision/move.
I work with teens (14+), young adults, and adults' struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem/self-defeat/body image issues, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues. I approach is integrative with a strong emphasis on the relationship to get you further along on your healing journey (w/good laughs in between because therapy does not always have to be serious).
I make therapy easily accessible with early morning, afternoon, and weekend availability (Sat/Sun). If you are ready, email or call today!
