Life can feel chaotic, like you’re constantly trying to keep up without ever getting a break. You might be overwhelmed by school, work, relationships—or all three. Maybe anxiety is creeping in, past experiences are weighing heavy, or everything just feels off. The nonstop pressure to manage it all can leave you feeling drained and disconnected. You might be craving clarity, direction, or simply a space to breathe and sort through the noise. It’s okay not to have everything figured out. Getting to know yourself more deeply can help you feel grounded, steady, and a little more in control of your own story.
I work with teens, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, stress, and life transitions. I believe growth happens when you feel safe enough to laugh, vent, and just be yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing you down, build tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and find more balance day-to-day.
You don’t need to be falling apart to start therapy (but if you are, that’s cool too). Whether you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or just tired of overthinking everything at 2am, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s work through it together—reach out and let’s make life feel a little less chaotic with less stress and more clarity.
