Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
Helping you create and live a mindful life
Life as a young adult can be full of obstacles and unexpected twists and turns. You are facing new situations you may not have experienced before and feel more stress than you did in high school. There are high expectations on you as you juggle school, work, intimate relationships, family relationships and living with roommates. You push yourself and strive for the best but your perfectionism can leave you feeling really anxious and you tend to beat yourself up when you don't live up to your expectations. Through counseling with me I can offer you a place you will be accepted as who you are. I help young adults like yourself to navigate through the stress of school, reduce perfectionism, learn to better manage emotions and find holistic ways to cope. I offer skill building in meditation, mindfulness, gentle yoga, and Brainspotting. Reach out today for a free consultation!
