I believe it is a privilege to be present during the journey clients embark on to access a more authentic self. Therapy can be a space to do just that and everyone is deserving of that space. I believe in meeting you were you are and working collaboratively towards further insight and addressing your goals.

I specialize with working younger adults who are struggling in school or at work. Transitioning to high school, college, or a new job is a stressful process. Feelings of anxiety, depression and self-doubt get in the way of thriving and excelling at school or at work. When struggling with anxiety and depression, often the quality of sleep, diet, and exercise are also poor. Relationships with friends and family are strained, as feelings of depression and anxiety make them stuck and prevent them from enjoying the world around them. Clients want to break free, and feel joy, satisfaction, and contentment. Clients want to live life happy.

In life we are never fully prepared for the challenges that we face as an adult, yet we do our best to push through these hurdles, collecting life lessons along the way. An unexpected turn of events can either make you or break you, but at the end we rise to the occasion; we seek resources for support that aid us in becoming stronger. You have taken the first step, which is the biggest step, in having the courage to seek therapy, that shows your resiliency.
