Summer is here and appointments are everywhere, you're trying to garden (again), and you are overwhelmed. Let's talk about it. Other times it feels like time is moving fast and you have so many things to do that it feels impossible. You are questioning yourself and your abilities. You are thinking the same things over and over, with no resolution. You haven’t quite found your “people” and it’s been weighing you down lately. I enjoy working with young adults who are learning who they are and what they want to offer the world, but struggle with motivation and self-esteem to accomplish their goals. I am here to help and support you.
I help young adults navigate depression, anxiety, and life transitions by creating a supportive space to explore emotions, build coping skills, and gain clarity. Whether you're feeling stuck. My goal as a therapist is not to tell you how to live your life, but to support and encourage you as you live your life. We will be a team, but you will be the captain.
Finding a therapist can be a challenging process and I can empathize with wanting help soon because life doesn't wait while you wait for a call back. After all, sunflowers thrive in sunshine surrounded by support from the gardeners, water, and their sunflower tribe around them. Step 1: schedule a consultation call. Finish line: a healthier and happier you.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who dance to the beat of their own drum, the loners, the outcasts, and the misunderstood, the ones who utilize creativity over productivity, and don't fit into the boxes on the paper. Goals should be SMART-specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. Let's work together to create SMART goals to empower you and better your life.
