Have you been waiting on hold trying to make a doctor’s appointment and think, “when did I become an adult?” How many mornings have you woken up and thought “here comes another day of adulting?” Navigating the world is hard enough but when you add paying bills, dating apps/relationships, school/work, and family, life can easily get overwhelming. My goal is to help you navigate the choppy waters of adulthood. We will work together to forge a path through modern-day responsibilities and expectations in the midst of all the chaos. My job as a therapist is to support your goals and always be a listening ear.

My perspective in therapy is that everyone has their own “coping skills toolbox” and it is my job to help you polish the rusty tools that you haven’t used in a while and make room for new and improved tools that are just for you. I will be your accountability partner by supporting and challenging you when needed.
While sometimes our lives can feel out of control, many times all we need is a little boost from an outside person to help us move through overwhelming situations. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client, so please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit!
