Do you feel like you are holding so much anxiety alone? Are you facing challenges in your relationships? Are you a new grad navigating your post-college identity? Do past traumatic events impact your daily life more than you want them to? You don’t have to navigate all of this alone. I specialize in working with individuals in their 20s and 30s facing anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, C-PTSD, depression, and life transitions.
My practice is grounded in psychodynamic and relational work, where I provide a deeply affirming, warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where we can be curious about your identities and you can feel fully known.
In our sessions, we won’t just treat your symptoms. We will look holistically to understand the deeper root of your challenges and find understanding and relief. If you are looking for someone to help you connect the dots, I am accepting new clients and would love to connect with you for a free consultation on Zoom or over the phone. Reach out today!
