What may have brought you here
Anxiety
Ongoing feelings of worry, ruminations, difficulty concentrating, isolation, and irritability. These symptoms can greatly impact our ability to be present in our lives and can hold us back from living the life we truly want.
Depression
Sadness, hopelessness, difficulty functioning, withdrawing from others. Suicidal ideation and self-harm are safe topics to discuss here too if that is something you’re experiencing.
Stress
Personal, professional, relational, etc. All the ways that stress can show up in our daily lives are fair game in therapy. We can strike a balance of process time and learning concrete coping skills to get through these tough times.

Struggling to find your “old self”, or discovering a new voice. Let’s do some values exploration, re-frame unhelpful narratives we can easily get stuck in, and practice assertiveness.

Being diagnosed with any kind of physical health condition can take a toll on your mental health. I’ll help you navigate this new road to help understand your experience and communicate needs to others as life changes.
