I am just exhausted. I don't feel good enough, no matter what I do. And, I can't stop worrying about everything... Does that sound like you? If this feels like your everyday life, you are not alone. Worrying about everyone and everything is overwhelming and can leave you exhausted. If you are tired of feeling this way, counseling can help. I will work to understand you as a person and your needs so I can support you, guiding you towards living with more calmness and more connection in your relationships. Our work together can help you to feel more at ease with yourself. You deserve support.
Special interests include: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting, self esteem, chronic illness/pain, mindfulness, women’s health, identity issues, grief, culturally sensitive therapy, life transitions, ADHD, and neurodiversity-affirming care.
I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples impacted by chronic stress, anxiety, and relationship disconnection. My clients often describe me as a genuine, compassionate, and attuned therapist. For an appointment call or text 240-274-5680 or email anytime. I look forward to connecting with you.
