Stress and anxiety in your early adulthood years can creep in more than ever before as you are encountering so many new stressors and life transitions. Your identity, relationships, career path, goals, and stage of life are all changing and developing at a rapid pace that can feel overwhelming. Sometimes you can feel like you are in "survival mode" and unequipped to handle everything that is on your plate. Anxiety, overthinking, and feeling stuck are all signs that you are needing more support. Your mental health is crucial for creating positive change and a fulfilling life, and I believe everyone deserves this.

Feeling stuck? Struggling to identify goals? Or maybe feeling as if your body image and relationship to food has become overwhelming? Whether you are having a hard time answering these questions or the answers are ingrained in you, I am here to support you! Authenticity and empowerment are the focus of my therapeutic style. Together, let's take a look at what is and is not serving you in life right now. Let's start by grounding down & taking a meaningful breath. I work through story, tools and feedback to help clients identify what is limiting them in life to ultimately, help them realign with their true self.

I'm here to help you get underneath your trauma and the behaviors that are keeping you from living your best life so that you can make the adjustments you need to create balance in your life and truly thrive. Anxiety, depression, and strained and painful relationships are struggles nobody needs to bear alone. As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside you as you explore the things that might be creating pain and discomfort in your life, and to help shed light on opportunities for change, healing, and growth, teaching you skills and practices to support you living the life you dream of.

I believe that healing, growth, and change are available to all people, regardless of their present circumstances or their past misfortune. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and each individual is an expert on their personal experiences and goals. I seek to explore and build from each client's personal strengths to find viable solutions, enhance coping skills, and nurture the path to positive change. I believe no one is truly alone, and that feelings of loneliness can be very real and overwhelming. There is strength in reaching out for help. I seek to provide an empathetic environment of self-discovery and change.

You may be feeling stuck and looking to make a change, to gain a deeper understanding, or to process life events so that you can live a life that feels most fulfilling. Regardless of the reason for starting therapy, each of us is deserving to find clarity and relief.

Life is not black & white, the beauty is in the grey. I believe that everybody deserves support in their journey toward meaning and connection. The absence of support, meaning, purpose, or connection can lead to disorder and dysfunction. It is my privilege as a therapist to watch others explore and create a full life. My work focuses on the unique struggles of the individual, couple, or family. I use story, feedback, empathy, and education to help each client discover balance and their authentic self. My hope is that each person I get to work with learns the tools that work for them and can embrace the grey areas in life.
