I emphasize a "do with" process, where we work through mental & emotional roadblocks together, with you learning how to tolerate the discomfort of doing complex, often anxiety-producing, but important things in your life.
Do you feel like you're just surviving? Do you often feel lost or insecure? Perhaps you've noticed that anxiety has taken over your life. If these questions resonate, you may seek someone to help you establish a genuine sense of self and a reliable foundation. I work with athletes & high-achieving young adults to develop essential mental skills like goal-setting, emotional management, and motivation. As someone who works with individuals aged 17 to 30, I understand that this is a crucial time for personal growth, where people establish the discipline, habits, and vision that will lead them to success.

Maybe you have anxiety, experienced trauma, or diagnosed with ADHD and you're looking to heal those parts. Perhaps you’re struggling with your partner, friends, boss, or parents and you’re looking to understand those relationships deeper. It can feel overwhelming and isolating working on healing from negative experiences, I get it. We may oftentimes find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure of where to go to next. I want to help you overcome that. Changing is not necessarily the answer, but rather growing into the version of you that you want to see.

My specialties include anxiety, trauma, depression, and social skills.
Finding a therapist for you or your child can be a difficult task. Purposeful Pathways hopes to help with that. Personally, much of my experience is centered around working with adolescents in multiple levels of care settings (e.g., outpatient to partial hospitalization) with things like mood disorders, self-esteem issues, interpersonal effectiveness needs, and parent-child relational issues to name a few of areas I have helped clients navigate. With my young adult-adult clients, much of what I have seen is a need for support through transitions, assessing and increasing life satisfaction, and overall short/long term goal setting.
