Life gets more complicated as you move into young adulthood, and it can feel impossible to cope with the daily demands: work, school, relationships, food, family, self-care, it’s hard to juggle it all. I can help you manage the chaos and create calm. I specialize in working with young adults who are in transition and who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Perfectionism and our inner critic make things worse, deepening depression, ramping up anxiety, and complicating our relationship with food and our bodies. Do you connect with this?

Do you struggle with anxiety, fear, feelings of being overwhelmed, and understand yourself or how you interact with the world around you that affects your life, work, or connections? Do you feel overwhelmed or lost by different parts of daily living or unsure of what or where you are working towards? Do you question that connections could be better? Now more than ever, all people feel overwhelmed and uncertain about their place in life and how they focus on themselves and grow through past and current difficulties. As former military and a first responder, I can say sometimes we all need a team to support us through our struggles.

Life can be overwhelming for many of us and things can become out of balance in our lives. When this happens you may need to connect with another human being, a professional who can really listen, provide perspective and honor you in your journey. Which may include resolving difficulty in relationships, healing from trauma, stabilizing and enhancing mental health and wellbeing, strengthening a sense of identity and finding an overall sense of "wholeness", growth and peace. As a clinician my goal is to connect with the strengths already within my clients, to facilitate change and to provide expertise that is meaningful.

Anxious, stressed, uneasy, afraid, agitated, out of control- The people I work with describe these feelings and more after months or years of being driven by anxiety in their thoughts, actions, and relationships. I love helping clients learn to overcome anxiety so that it is no longer distressing and interfering with daily life. My practice also focuses on working with clients to navigate OCD, grief, relationship concerns and family issues. Many people seeking treatment have more than one goal, so I am passionate about providing a safe space for clients to process a variety of issues as they come up.

In this life there is always something that makes us change. Human nature says that it is love or the loss of something or someone. If you think you need help to achieve your goals or make the necessary changes to be successful, you have to give yourself a chance. During therapy you have the necessary space to talk about the different barriers that are a challenge for you. I work with different people who are going through different personal situations, having challenges with their families, or struggling in their marriage.
