Are you feeling overwhelmed with change? Mourning what once was? Maybe too stuck to even know what you're feeling? I get that. Life transitions, trauma, loss, and responsibilities can all affect how we view and move about our day. Therapy can be a pause amidst the overwhelm and significantly reduce symptoms stress, depression, and anxiety. With almost 10 years of working with adults, parents, and trauma survivors, I'm ready to support you in reflecting and moving through life's transitions. My gentle and direct approach can help you access the healing that's already within you and gain tools to start feeling like YOU again.
I specialize working with adults experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety due to a major life change (ie. pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, grief/loss, immigration, trauma, relationship ending, etc.). I also conduct psychological evaluations for asylum, U visa, T visa, VAWA, extreme hardship and cancellation of removal applicants.
I believe our emotions teach us and making space for them helps us gravitate towards what we need and distance ourselves from what we don't. This can get lost when juggling demands and I love helping my clients attain a more sustainable and present day to day. Reach out & let's see if working together seems like the next best step for you.
