You've always been the one others count on-confident, capable and driven. You show up. You deliver. But lately, the pressure feels heavier The anxiety sharper. The fear of failure louder. It's as if the balance you worked so hard to maintain is slipping, and the weight of it all is becoming harder to carry alone. Even the most resilient professionals reach a point where pushing through isn't enough. This is where therapy can help you untangle the overload and find space to breath again. One of the first things I tell clients is" Let Thoughts Come and Go. Just don't Serve them Tea."
When you choose to work with me, you are choosing a therapist who truly cares. My approach is warm, supportive, non-judgmental and free of judgement, I'll meet you where you are. You don't have to welcome every anxious thought or let them move in. Together, we'll work to build that kind of mental clarity so your life begins to feel like your own again.
Depression and Anxiety, Relationship Ambivalence, Alcohol & Drug Abuse,Uncertainty about Your Career Path, LGBTQ, Parenting, Wondering If you are Gay? Coaching.
