Those I work with often experience preoccupation and rumination that distract them from accessing joy and living in the present moment. Although uncertainties in life will never cease, we can learn skillful ways of managing them. My approach is balanced: recognizing anxiety as being an inevitable part of the human experience while helping to manage and reduce it. Defining your values and deeper sense of meaning will serve as motivators and anchor our work. Together, we will address how avoidance and control strategies interfere with the changes you’d like to make in your life and collaborate on a path to action.
I enjoy working with teens and young adults who are struggling to: find a sense of purpose, navigate life transitions, balance academic expectations, and create community and sustainable friendships.
It’s important for me to learn about and honor your unique identity-based contexts as I believe these are vital factors to understanding what contributes to your challenges. My style is direct yet warm, humorous, and sincere. I aim to cultivate an accepting and relaxed environment in which you can feel comfortable exploring what's been challenging for you.
