Discover the confidence to pursue a brighter future.
It feels like you’re not good enough in any area of your life.
The daily tasks and responsibilities that others seem to manage easily are completely overwhelming for you. Even things you used to enjoy feel like a chore these days.
It’s hard to remember the last time you got a good night’s sleep. Mostly, you lie awake at night—thoughts racing a mile a minute—and dread the inevitability of your alarm going off in the morning.
You start the day already tired and struggle to resist staying in bed and scrolling your phone, avoiding everything you know you need to do. Taking care of your body is difficult, too—you either forget to eat all day or eat so much that you feel sick. Sometimes, when you’ve been stressed or worrying about something, you can physically feel your heart racing or find yourself struggling to take a deep breath.
As frustrated as you are by the way you’ve been living, it’s hard to muster the motivation to do anything above the bare minimum.
Maybe lately, you’ve been…
Having feelings of sadness, shame, guilt, or panic that don’t seem to have a clear cause
Grieving a recent loss that has made managing your anxiety & depression feel impossible
Going through a breakup and unsure how to pick up the pieces
Dealing with conflicts within your family or friend group, and are unsure how to navigate them
Worried about life changes like starting college or a new job, or moving away from home
Isolating yourself due to unbearable social anxiety
My Approach
Let’s uncover the root causes & find real solutions.
Whatever you’re going through right now, I want you to know that there is hope — even if your brain is telling you there isn’t. Together, we’ll work to restore that sense of hope by finding tools and skills to manage your anxiety and depression, and actually feel better.
A Judgment-free space to sort it all out.
In our early sessions, I’ll get to know you and learn a bit about what you’d like to get out of therapy. No need to show up with a brave face on, I’m here to listen no matter how you’re feeling at the moment.
We’ll work together to gain insight into the ideas you have about yourself and meet anxious thoughts with curiosity. Then, we’ll be able to shift those thoughts and ideas in a direction that’s more rooted in reality. In other words, you’ll know the difference between the sound of a fire alarm going off in your head and the sound it makes when you just need to replace the batteries. And you’ll have all the tools you’ll need to “replace the batteries” if that’s the case.

Anxiety and stress are related but not exactly the same. Stress is a response to a specific situation, while anxiety often involves worrying about future events or internal struggles.
