Experiencing depression and anxiety can make life difficult to manage. You may struggle to connect with those around you, worry excessively, feel worthless, or lack motivation, but change is possible. I help clients struggling with transitioning to a new phase in life, overcoming social and general anxiety, and conquering depression. In addition, I provide career counseling services to help clients find a meaningful career path in life. I utilize a variety of evidence-based and tailored approaches to change and mental health to help you address root causes and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. In addition, you will walk away with tools and strategies to help you overcome future obstacles. We can work together to help you achieve the life you envision.
