Counselor, MA, LLPC

Young adulthood can be one of the most challenging times of life. From the demands of school/work, to relationships and friendships – there’s a lot to juggle. All of this can leave you feeling anxious and depressed. Life’s challenges can feel impossible to navigate on your own. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you get blindsided. Maybe it’s a breakup. Maybe it’s the loss of a job. Maybe you begin to question your own values, your path in life, or realize you no longer have things in common with the people you once knew. Whatever your struggle may be, I want you to know that I’ve been there and that there is hope.

Depression can seem scary and lonely. Anxiety may prevent you from having new experiences. Your past trauma may be impacting your ability to trust others. It may be hard for you to convey your emotions or thoughts. My goal is to help individuals not fear past experiences and current emotional states but rather learn from them. Struggling with mental health can be isolating and I would like to provide you with a nonjudgmental, safe-space to help you overcome your struggles while learning tools to help you grow and heal.

Kristi Marth
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to gently witness, learn, and grow in the ways of your own choosing. Often times, the circumstances leading someone to seek a healing relationship are both difficult and hopeful. Within the counseling relationship, we are able to identify and honor patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from a place of understanding and empowerment. The healing transformation is able to occur naturally and gently from this gentle place of self compassion.
