Introduction
Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? If you’ve been carrying more than people realize, struggling with old patterns, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. Many young adults reach a point where things look “fine” on the outside but feel heavy, confusing, or exhausting on the inside. You deserve a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. You get to show up exactly as you are — sweatpants, messy day, overwhelmed mind. No pressure, no pretenses. Sessions move at your pace and offer a mix of grounding tools, practical skills, and deeper healing work when you’re ready. You can expect: • A steady, calm space where you’re heard and understood • Support that’s warm, honest, and human • Real-world skills that help outside the therapy room Together, we explore what keeps showing up, what feels heavy, and what you need right now. We focus on helping you: • Feel more grounded and less overwhelmed • Understand your reactions instead of being controlled by them • Communicate in ways that feel steady and real • Build boundaries without guilt • Trust yourself again My approach blends Person-Centered therapy, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused strategies, cognitive reframing, and trauma-informed stabilization (TIST) — all adapted to fit you, not the other way around. Finding the right therapist matters. Let’s see if this feels like a good fit. Book a free consultation and begin your path back to clarity, steadiness, and yourself.
