Hi, I am Skylar. If your mind feels like it has too many tabs open or you are tired of trying to hold everything together on your own, you are in the right place. I help adults calm anxiety, get unstuck, and figure out what feels meaningful again. Sessions with me feel like real conversation, not a performance. No judgment, no pressure, just curiosity, clarity, and space to breathe. We will explore what you actually want, build confidence in your own voice, and make life feel a little lighter and more intentional. Ready to feel more like yourself again? Let’s talk. If you message me, I will respond within 24 hours (usually sooner).
I believe in your ability to uncover truth and meaning in a way that feels authentic to you. My approach combines psychodynamic therapy with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, offering you a tailored path toward self-discovery and personal growth. More about me and my approach are available if you search for Headwinds Counseling on Google.
Traveling across four continents as a teacher taught me there’s no single way to live. I offer an open, affirming, judgment-free space to explore your path. However you identify, whatever your journey, I’m here to support you.
