Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in.

Accepting new clients now. Life can be challenging, from finishing college, to simply handling adulthood, and navigating big changes in life, to realizing you’re not where you thought you’d be by now. Maybe you are not loving work or your relationships are failing. I have worked with people who have turned to alcohol, drugs, food, or self-injury to cope with these kinds of things. Others have shut down in the form of depression or paralyzing anxiety. When these ways of handling life’s stressors are not effective, there is help. I am so proud of you for taking the first steps and prioritizing your mental health.
