Sometimes it’s hard to figure out the “why” for yourself or your kid: Why do I feel this way? Why is my kid struggling? Why do I keep having these same thoughts and doing the same things over and over again? Maybe you know the “why”, but are struggling with the “what”: What should I do? What does my kid need? And the “how”: How do I change what is keeping me stuck? How do I help my kid with what they are going through? Whether it’s trauma, anxiety, big changes, or stress, you are looking for a change. Feel free to check out my website to find out more about me, or send me an email or text to 904-517-9531 to get connected.
As a therapist who works with young adults, kids, & teens, who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, & transitions, I believe people are resilient and have the strength to overcome whatever is holding them back. It's my hope to help people access that strength and knock down the barriers that are getting in the way of the life they want.
Therapy should be a place where people feel safe, heard, and supported. Sessions with me are about learning, processing, healing, and growing. You are in control as we work together to reach your goals. You do not have to struggle alone. I look forward to hearing from you!
