Stress & Anxiety Therapy for Young Adults and Professionals. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, career pressure, or ongoing stress that feels difficult to manage alone. Anxiety may show up as overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling behind despite working hard. I work with individuals who are motivated for change and want support building coping skills, confidence, and a greater sense of balance.
I specialize in anxiety therapy, stress management, and coping skills training using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. I provide a supportive and collaborative space to reduce overwhelm and create long-lasting, meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face these challenges alone. I will meet you with warmth and understanding, creating a space where you feel supported and encouraged. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and confident in your next steps, I invite you to reach out!
