Are you feeling alone, misunderstood, or overwhelmed with your current life circumstances? Stressors from work, finances, family, friendships, and romantic partnerships impede on your quality of life and interfere with the happiness you want and deserve. Whether you are going through a career transition, navigating healthy boundaries, or in need of processing the negative thoughts or emotions you feel daily, I am here to help. I will address, validate, and acknowledge these aspects of your life, while also providing empowerment and evidence-based practices needed to help you take control of who you want to become.
I work with teens and young adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, career stress, eating disorders, and professional or interpersonal relationship issues. I provide a judgment free space aligned with empathy and grace while also challenging you to implement our therapy work into the various areas of your everyday lives.
My approaches for therapy include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), where we will reframe the negative thoughts you may be feeling- but also through the lens of a strength based perspective. This perspective will empower you to achieve your therapeutic goals and meet you where you are in the therapeutic process.
