Do you have a chronic case of the Sunday Scaries? Do you feel like there's not enough time in the day? Are you struggling to express how you're feeling to others? Too often, we sacrifice our own well-being & needs for the sake of others': family members, partners, children, friends or employers. Eventually, we realize this is not sustainable; it leads to tremendous burnout, anxiety, stress, & just not feeling ourselves. Through working with me, you will learn to prioritize self-care, maintain balance, recognize & honor your feelings, & how to be the best version of yourself, all while navigating the uncertainties of life.
My experience has focused on, but is not limited to, working with individuals adjusting during life transitions (both planned & unexpected), managing daily stress & anxiety, processing grief & loss, working through past trauma, building self-esteem, improving self-expression & communication, strengthening relationships, as well as maintaining sobriety.
You've already taken the courageous leap of looking for a therapist. You've begun the valuable process of investing in yourself. Take the next step & reach out to me via phone or email to set up your free consultation. Together, we will clarify your personal goals so that your sessions are tailored to your individual needs. Let's get started!
