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.

Job loss. A car accident. Dissatisfaction with life. The death of a loved one. Challenges such as these can greatly impact many areas of one's life. Although these challenges may be a process of life, this may cause individuals to feel "stuck," not themselves, or hopeless. Whether you are going through a difficult period or need someone to lend an ear, together we can tackle anxiety, trauma, depression, and life transitions.

We all need support sometimes to help us cope with the struggles in life. For some, depression or anxiety have made life a daily struggle. For others, chronic relationship issues may be the stressor. Some have experienced traumas and are unsure how this affects their lives; they only know they feel miserable. Some people are just looking for support or to "de-stress" or feel "good enough". Therapy is not about "just talking", but rather understanding the reasons why we developed the patterns we have, and then learning how to think and act in a different way to create a happier life.
