Are you feeling like anxiety or stress is completely taking control over your life? Your relationships are not going the way you have hoped leaving you questioning yourself? Unsure of who you are in the complexities of emerging into adulthood and everything is too overwhelming? My Strengths-Based and Client-Centered approach will help you identify your strengths to increase your ability to take control of your life. Anxiety, stress, relationship issues, lack of self-esteem...they can create a sense of powerlessness within your own life. I want to support you gaining that power back.
Therapy is a space to feel physically, mentally, and emotionally safe which is my mission for every client of mine to feel. Whether small or large, I celebrate your wins and identify areas to improve. I especially enjoy working with young adults/college-aged students, who are also struggling with depression, ADHD, emotion regulation, career concerns, etc.
Life continues to happen on a daily basis; I value exploring any thought, feeling, or issue aside from the primary reason for coming to therapy. I will meet you wherever you are in your mental health journey. My goal for every client of mine is to persist towards the goals and live a quality life. Contact me below to book a free consultation!
