Hi there! If you're scrolling through Psychology Today, I imagine you might be experiencing a life change or contemplating making a few. If so, this is a significant step. If I can, I would be happy to support you in this time of challenges or choices. It's helpful for therapy seekers and therapy providers to be in alignment on goals and approaches. So, if any of the following descriptions sound like you, we may be a great fit: 1. A young adult navigating life transitions who'd like a space to get curious & find clarity 2. A high achiever who could benefit from evaluating their lifestyle balance, sense of self & pressure to perform

When we are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, seeking therapy can be a daunting experience. It is my goal as a therapist to foster connection and create a space for you to unpack life's challenges. I work with adults who are seeking change in their lives. My clients often come into counseling dealing with anxiety, overwhelming life transitions & identity and relationship issues. I believe that finding connection with others is key to change in our lives and that with empathy and reflection, you have the capacity to grow and develop as a person.

As a woman stepping into a new phase of life, you find yourself afraid to face the unknown. Instead of feeling excitement about what's to come, you're confronted by insecurities--that deep down you might be a fraud, that you don’t measure up, that you’re never going to be “good enough”. These thoughts seep into your career, your education, your relationships. You feel isolated and hopeless, uncertain of what to do next. That voice of doubt inside of you won't quiet down and it's holding you back from finding your purpose. I’m here to tell you that just because that voice is LOUD, does not mean that what it’s telling you is TRUE.

We will work together to set personalized goals and I will support you as your work towards achieving these goals. In the process of therapy we may also focus on developing a deeper understanding of how negative thought patterns impact emotions and lead to conflict in our relationships with others and with ourself. Therapy can help develop the coping strategies needed to manage stress in daily life.
