You know that feeling when you graduate college and suddenly everything you knew has changed? Or when you start a new job and you're constantly second-guessing yourself? Have you experienced a recent break-up? Life transitions can be tough, especially when faced with overwhelming and confusing emotions. Whether you are interested in better understanding who you are, need support with the grief/loss of your previous stage of life, or you want to learn tools to handle life's obstacles. I am here to support you as you embark on the next part of your journey.
My goal is to help clients deepen their self-understanding and build confidence as they navigate life’s constant changes. My counseling style is warm, patient, and open-minded. I am trauma-informed and draw from a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities to support individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral concerns.
Choosing to begin therapy can feel daunting. It’s completely normal to fear being judged or to feel unsure about where to turn for support. I offer a highly empathetic, non-judgmental, and safe environment, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
