My Approach to Helping
On the outside, it may seem like everything is in place, but underneath, anxiety has been a constant companion. Juggling college or starting your career, navigating relationships, and handling the pressures of young adulthood can feel like an uphill battle. You're caught between striving for success and feeling overwhelmed by the weight of expectations. Balancing it all seems like an unreachable goal, especially when your natural tendency to please others makes it hard to prioritize your own well-being. Yet, in the midst of this chaos, you recognize the need for change.
Specializing in anxiety treatment, my focus is on helping build your self-confidence, exploring strategies to manage anxious thoughts, and developing healthier ways to set boundaries and communicate effectively. I'm here to support you in becoming the best version of yourself, so that you can feel proud of who you are and what you're capable of achieving.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Anxiety
Is your anxiety holding you back? Do school or work assignments feel overwhelming because you're worried about perfection? Are you struggling to make friends or set boundaries due to fear of judgment? Do anxious thoughts dominate your daily life? I specialize in challenging and rewriting these unhelpful thoughts. They don't deserve to control your life. Together, we can empower you to regain control and live a fulfilling life free from constant anxiety.
Depression
Feeling trapped by depression is tough. It can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming-getting out of bed, eating, or feeling anything at all. But there's hope. The key is showing yourself love, even if it feels corny or unfamiliar right now. I focus on recognizing and building upon your strengths-you have them, even if they're hard to see at the moment. Together, we can navigate through this and help you reclaim a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.
Teen Issues
Adolescence is an awkward time. You're juggling schoolwork, friend and family drama, and navigating personal changes.
You crave freedom, autonomy, and to be understood, but it can be challenging for adults to relate. As a baby-faced millennial and specialist in working with teens, I empower young people by providing a safe space where they can be authentically themselves. Together, we'll navigate these challenges and empower you to make choices that align with who you're becoming.
