This has a wide application for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties or just the stress of a post-pandemic world.

Perfection and anxiety can make you feel overwhelmed and out of control. The anxious feeling can make you feel constantly scattered, not having a relaxing moment. Your brain is always on go. The desire to be perfect is a struggle to reach, and not obtainable. Therapy can help your brain slow down, calm down, and stop having a escalating desire to panic. You can turn your life around and enjoy it the way you want.

The counseling and coaching relationship is special in that it allows me to walk beside and support clients in a safe environment where we are able to explore together what you are struggling with and move towards healing and growth. In our first meeting, I will ask you to share your story, and together we will set goals for what you would like to accomplish in our time together. After that, we'll begin the journey of exploring areas you'd like to work on.

The most helpful psychotherapy is a collaborative respectful relationship that honors your innate healing abilities. I will create a safe space for you to explore situations that are currently hindering you from living the life you desire. These might include past or recent traumatic experiences, behaviors that feel compulsive and/or harmful, life transitions, societal pressures, or the desire to "have it all together." Sometimes we seek relief in the wrong places which leaves us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within.
