Overthinking, stress, and emotional ups and downs can make you feel like you’re drowning, unable to come up for air. When you’re flooded by stress, anxiety, life, or your emotions, therapy itself can seem daunting. I’m here for you- I’m here to meet you where you’re at and compassionately guide you to where you want to be. Yes, therapy is work, but we’ll work together to create growth and change that fits into your life. I’m nurturing and compassionate and also practical and proactive. I want my clients to feel seen and heard while also walking away with real tools and insights.
Maybe you're struggling with stress from work or parenting, or perhaps you have always had anxiety, self esteem struggles, or emotional ups and downs. It is possible to feel more balanced and in control and to feel better about yourself and have healthier relationships. I can help you turn down the overthinking and get off the emotional roller coaster.
I love working with working professionals, high achievers, and young adults. My clients walk away from our time together with more control over their emotions and mind, with excitement for life, healthier boundaries and relationships, feeling better about themselves, and feeling capable.
