Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what’s next, you're not alone. Navigating new responsibilities, shifting relationships, and big life decisions can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense of feeling lost. I'm here to support you through these transitions by helping you reconnect with yourself and what matters most. I use an embodied approach that explores how emotions live in the body and how that awareness can create space for healing, regulation, and deeper self-understanding.

The transition into adulthood is filled with uncertainty, but it’s also a time of growth and self-discovery. Therapy can help you manage the emotional and psychological challenges that come with this period, offering a safe space to explore your feelings, build resilience, and set meaningful goals.

Therapy can help you build a strong foundation for adulthood.

  • Therapy helps you build confidence in your abilities and decisions and cultivate a sense of purpose and direction for the future

  • It teaches you to establish a work-life balance, manage stress, and navigate personal and professional transitions with clarity

  • It helps you manage academic or career-related anxiety and feelings of isolation or loneliness
