It's difficult to feel truly present and engaged in life when your mind is racing and your sense of self is scattered. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, dissociation, self-harm, ADHD, identity exploration, and relational issues. Through effective coping mechanisms, challenging negative thought patterns, and fostering resilience, our collaborative journey will be focused on restoring what feels missing.
Navigating the terrain of identity can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. I'm here to provide a safe place where you can explore your sense of self, cultural identity, and beliefs. My counseling is rooted in person-centered, narrative, and existential therapy. I incorporate CBT, IFS, trauma-informed therapy, and systems work as well.
Whether you need support in managing daily struggles or exploring your life's purpose, please know it is welcome. We can work together to restore a sense of safety, hope, and connection. It may feel hopeless and like you don't even know where to start. Let's take the first step together.
