Message to clients

You may be looking for a space where you don't have to perform, over-explain, or be the person responsible for everyone else. You may be a college student working to juggle all the demands of school, work, and relationships. You may also be a new professional in the workforce who may be replaying conversations and scenarios over and over again in your mind. Maybe challenges such as anxiety are not new at all, but you have made the decision to begin therapy again. It is my passion and my drive in this field to work with college aged students and adults experiencing overwhelm of anxiety and managing transitions into new life phases.

Every person comes in with their own lived experiences. In our time together, we will work to gain a strong understanding of goals in order to implement a set of modalities that will be right for you. This variation of modalities can include Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Humanistic, and Psychodynamic approaches.

It can be overwhelming to seek out support. I am glad you are here, and will be looking forward to being in touch soon. It is important to ensure our relationship is a good fit, which is why I offer a free 15 minute consultation call for all new clients. Schedule a consultation through my website, by sending an email, or by phone call!
