You can start to quiet the constant loop of thoughts and enjoy the "right now”. In a world that is constantly changing it's more important than ever to find ways to pause, to give yourself permission to slow down, and to experience the peace that can come from truly being in the moment.
"I feel so Much Lighter"
It’s easy to feel like your mind is constantly racing, like you're caught in a loop of thoughts that just won’t stop. The pressure of everyday life—work/ school, responsibilities, relationships—can weigh you down, leaving you feeling like you’re always on the go, always trying to catch up. Anxiety can sneak in, making it even harder to be present in the moment, always worrying about what's next or what's out of your control.
"It Just Won't stop"
what you're feeling is real, and it’s okay to not have all the answers right now.

Counseling with athletes focuses on enhancing mental performance while supporting overall emotional well-being. Sessions will use evidence-based approaches to build confidence, motivation, navigate injury recovery, while balancing sport with personal life.

Counseling for disordered eating involves addressing the underlying emotional, psychological, and behavioral factors contributing to unhelpful eating habits. During therapeutic sessions we will use evidence-based approaches to challenge harmful thought patterns, change behaviors, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Sessions will also include education on nutrition and body image, fostering a supportive environment for sustainable recovery.
eating issues
Counseling for anxiety focuses on identifying triggers, understanding thought patterns, and developing coping strategies to manage symptoms. Techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help reframe anxious thoughts and encourage relaxation methods, such as mindfulness and deep breathing. Therapy often aims to build resilience and empower individuals to navigate anxiety-provoking situations effectively.

what modalities do you use?
Everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to—a compassionate, non-judgmental professional who provides a safe space to process life’s challenges.

You don’t need to have it all figured out—sometimes the first step is just having a conversation.

Therapy is a highly personalized journey, and the length of time varies based on your unique goals and the type of therapeutic approach. Some people find clarity and relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing, deeper exploration over several months or longer. Whether you're focused on resolving a specific challenge or seeking long-term growth, therapy is tailored to meet your needs at your own pace. Together, we'll create a path that works best for you.

I do not accept insurance at this time; however, I offer a sliding scale based on individual circumstances to ensure therapy remains accessible.
