Are you a working adult or college student feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or self-sabotaging behaviors? Do you struggle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or setting and maintaining healthy boundaries? I provide a warm, supportive environment to help you address these challenges and build confidence as you navigate life’s obstacles. Together, we’ll identify concrete goals and develop practical strategies to overcome negative thought patterns and create a more fulfilling life.
My approach is collaborative yet structured, focusing on fostering self-awareness, building resilience, and holding you accountable to the goals we set together. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven approach for addressing many of life’s challenges.
Taking the first step toward support is a sign of strength, and I’d be happy to help you on your journey toward healing and growth. Feel free to reach out when you’re ready to take the next step!
