There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying anxiety, sadness, or old hurt while still showing up for everyone who needs you. I work with teens, adults, and seniors who are navigating that weight, especially around anxiety, depression, family strain, and the effects of trauma. Spending my days as a middle school counselor keeps me close to what young people are actually facing right now, and that same understanding shapes how I show up for the adults I work with too. You do not need to have anything figured out before we start. This is a judgment free space to say out loud whatever you have been carrying quietly.

Together we will name what is actually going on, not just the surface version of it, and build tools that genuinely fit your life rather than a generic script. My work with anxiety and trauma centers on helping you feel steadier day to day, more able to catch yourself before a spiral takes over, and less defined by what happened to you. I listen closely so you feel heard and understood before we ever move toward solutions, and we move at your pace, not mine. This tends to work best for people who want an honest, collaborative partner rather than someone handing down answers from a distance.

Our first session together is meant to feel warm and low pressure. We will talk about what brought you here, what you are hoping changes, and get a comfortable sense of your background and current stressors, only as much as feels right to share. You will leave with a clearer sense of where we are headed and what working together might look like. If any of this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.
