Are you experiencing overwhelming anxiety? In uncertain times, it makes sense if you feel like you’re struggling in isolation right now. In times of crisis, it can be even more difficult to navigate day to day life when it is complicated by systemic racism, punitive systems and limiting social norms. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your current living situation and relationship difficulties, counseling can help. I work with adults who are navigating the complexity of their identities in the most stressful circumstances.
Too often, the societal narrative of who we "should" be creates harm when it doesn’t fit who we are as individuals. You deserve space to define your own life story. You deserve to have tools to create the life you want to live. As a counselor, I will partner with you to help you achieve values-based living.
Counseling can help you find clarity and calm. You can navigate competing drives and systemic pressures while honoring your individuality. Let's get you to a place you want to be. Reach out to schedule your first appointment. I'm here to help.
