“Life be lifing!” How often are we saying this to describe how hard life can be? Life can throw a lot at us that is challenging to manage. This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, inadequate, and/or stuck. We may not be able to specifically name the impact, but we know we aren’t feeling like ourselves, and our previous coping strategies aren’t helping to return to our “normal.” Taking a step back to reflect and gain awareness can be helpful to make progress. Sometimes we need a supportive person to listen, validate, provide insight, and a fresh perspective to assist in developing strategies that can help us flourish.
I prioritize your needs, goals, and well-being with a relational, strengths-based approach. I value authenticity, transparency, and collaboration to foster trust, growth, and confidence. I create a welcoming space through relatability, openness, and humor. I consider clients holistically, appreciating diverse identities and experiences to inform our work.
Experienced in therapy for adults, including college students, I address anxiety, mood concerns, life transitions/adjustment, perfectionism, imposter phenomenon, relationship issues, eating/body image, identity, grief/loss, and acute stress and trauma. Email for a complimentary 15-minute consultation to briefly discuss concerns and evaluate compatibility.
