You might need help with
-
Anxiety
It's important to remember that anxiety is highly treatable, and you don't have to face it alone. Counseling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to understand the root causes of your anxiety and develop practical strategies to manage it.
-
Depression
While depression can be a difficult journey, you don't have to navigate it alone. Counseling offers a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore what you're going through and find a path forward.
-
Anger
The good news is that you don't have to let anger control your life. Counseling offers a safe and supportive space to understand the root causes of your anger and develop the skills you need to manage it effectively.
-
Trauma
You are not defined by what happened to you. I offer a safe and supportive space to gently process trauma and begin the journey toward healing. We will work together to help you understand your nervous system's response to the trauma, equipping you with the tools to find a sense of calm and control.
-
Grief & Loss
While grief is a natural process, a counselor can provide a safe and supportive space to navigate the journey. We won't try to fix your pain, but we will help you find a way to honor your loss while moving forward.
-
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a real and often overwhelming response to a traumatic event. It's not a sign of weakness; it's a normal human reaction to an abnormal experience.
