Specialties

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, specifically those navigating relocation. I understand how anxiety can inhibit us from becoming the best versions of ourselves. Anxiety can affect the way we think, relate to others, and move through everyday life, often leaving us feeling disoriented, overwhelmed, and stuck.

Whether you’re feeling lonely in your new environment, uncertain about how to create new routines, or disconnected from yourself or others, I am here to support you through whatever life throws your way. Adulthood can be challenging and confusing, just as much as it can be exciting and rewarding. Together, we’ll work to ease your anxieties by building a stronger sense of identity, belonging, and stability, while exploring how change can be an opportunity for you to create meaningful growth and a more fulfilled life.

Clinical Style & Theoretical Orientation

I view therapy as a place where you can laugh, cry, and process the emotions and thoughts you carry on a day-to-day basis. I use an integrative approach, specific to your needs, to challenge negative thought patterns, empower you to make self-discoveries, and explore how the past may have influenced the way you think today. I recognize how disorienting anxious feelings can be and always work to make sure you feel comfortable and safe.

Collaboratively, we will work to explore the anxieties you’re experiencing- whether they are related to exploring where and how you fit into your new environment, creating a confidence in who you are, or establishing a stable routine that feels right for you. In session, I will help you create a deeper understanding of how certain patterns have developed and are currently impacting your life. We will work to confront unhelpful thoughts, and brainstorm coping strategies and self-care skills that make you feel empowered and motivated to take control of your evolving life!
