I help adults and teens achieve wellness so that they can lead a confident life without sacrificing their mental wellbeing. When we face new situations such as adjusting to a new relationship, losing someone we care about, making a career change, deciding to go to school, or moving, sometimes it feels overburdening. Feelings of anxiety and depression find their way in and we feel stuck. Beginning your journey in counseling can seem daunting but taking care of our minds is as important as taking care of our bodies.
As your counselor, I will always provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can bring the hard topics and also talk about what brings you joy- all while learning new ways to cope and harness your inner strength. We will explore skills that you already possess and build on them to be even more successful in independently managing your mental health.
Making your first appointment is often a hard first step. It might feel like you're a pot about to boil over. That's why I'm here. I recognize that this is not easy and I'm willing to listen. Please reach out. Let's start with a complimentary 'mini session' to see if I'm the right fit for you.
