Let's Build a Life you are Proud of

Together we can unpack and explore everyday concerns through counseling.

Stress Management &
Reduction

Maybe you are experiencing particularly stressful life changes or maybe life just seems stressful all around. Stress can take a toll on us and impact our overall happiness. I work to address the root cause of stress and help people learn how to feel more in control of stressful situations. Life changes and stressors are hard, but therapy can help.

Failure to
Launch Therapy

Have you found yourself in a rut. Maybe you are living at home, unemployed, struggling to manage romantic relationships or not getting what you want out of life. I have experience helping people make changes in their life, get unstuck, decrease shame, and build the life they want. No matter how stuck you feel, you can build independence and combat "failure to launch" through therapy.

Pre-Graduation
Anxiety

Graduation can be exciting, but also open up many unknowns. It is common for graduation to bring up anxieties and worries about what the future holds. Whether it is stressors about jobs, moving, or just adjustments to the unknowns. I specialize in providing therapy for young adults and can help you better understand and create the future you want.

College Student Therapy

Transitioning to college comes with its own set of challenges, including making new friends, adapting to a different academic environment, and managing newfound independence. Therapy can provide support for young adults as you adjust to being a college student allowing you to enjoy this time of life.

"Adulting"
Anxiety

Adulting can be overwhelming and lead to anxiety or feeling stuck. This is common! Whether you're worried about finding a job, relocating, or adjusting to new responsibilities, we can help you navigate these challenges. Let’s work together to create a future that excites and fulfills you.

Young Adult
Counseling

Finishing school and stepping into the “real world” can be daunting. If you're feeling overwhelmed by this transition or struggling with fears and anxieties that hold you back from pursuing your dreams, let's work together to find your footing in this new phase of life.
