I work with young and older adults navigating life transitions and trying to find their footing. This can include relationship changes, career stress, or feeling stuck and unsure what comes next. I also work with children and adolescents. Many clients feel overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected, and know something needs to change, but are not sure where to start. Together, we can make sense of what is going on and take steps toward feeling more stable, confident, and in control.
