You find yourself struggling in school, work, or relationships.
Maybe your mind convinces you that you are going to fail, that people don’t really like you, or that no matter what you do you will never meet that incredibly high standard you have for yourself.
Does this sound familiar?
You want to feel happy but instead you:
Feel stressed and overwhelmed with work
Worry about other people’s perceptions of you
Struggle with perfectionism
Feel sad, lonely, or misunderstood
Have difficulty finding motivation and feeling unfulfilled
Experience disconnection and dissatisfaction in your relationships
Grapple with feeling insecure and inadequate
Life doesn’t have to be this way.

Therapy for Young Professionals
Working in your 20s and 30s often involves significant stress. Finding a work-life balance in a career you find rewarding is a taxing process.

The unique challenges of higher education can impact students’ mental health. Figuring out how to juggle academic demands, friends, family, and self-care can be tough.

Therapy for Teenagers
Adolescence is a difficult time in life with various pressures from school, friends, extracurricular activities, and social media. Therapy can help your child to feel and do their best.
The Process
Step 1
Request a time to talk together for a free 15-minute phone consultation. We will get to know each other and decide if we would be a good fit working together.
Step 2
Join me each week to better understand what barriers are getting in the way. Together, we will develop the insight you need to make the changes you want to see.
Step 3
Find relief from the distress you’ve been experiencing.
Therapy can help you blossom and realize your full potential.
In therapy, you can develop the tools you need to:
Cope with intense emotions
Understand yourself better
Gain confidence in yourself
Communicate more effectively
Develop more satisfying relationships
Reconnect to your strengths and values
You are probably used to figuring things out on your own and may feel like you don’t deserve support as you try to manage your stress.
You don’t have to do it alone. You deserve to have someone in your corner helping you heal and thrive in all areas of your life.
