Do you struggle with constant worry, never-ending thoughts, sadness, lack of motivation, loss of interest, “feeling stuck”, loneliness, procrastination, feeling fidgety, inability to complete tasks, guilt, constant mood changes, risky behaviors, suicidal ideation, self-harm, or flashbacks from traumatic events? Maybe a career change or college studies overwhelm. During our first session we’ll discuss your stressors and needs; along with your expectations (and answer questions) of our time together.

Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or Do you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" and then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for yoursel or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.

Life has its ups and downs and it can be easy to feel stuck on a roller coaster of emotions. It’s common to think that no one else can understand your struggles and having to explain your story can feel both daunting and exhausting in the process! I believe firmly in working collaboratively in order to build a deeper understanding of your lived experience as that is essential in assisting you on your path of wellness. I work with individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, ADD, interpersonal conflicts, and coping with everyday life stressors including life transitions using a holistic approach.
