Sometimes life can be stressful, depressing, confusing, and seem maddeningly unfair. Whether you are dealing with anxiety or trauma, the stress of balancing classes, assignments and social life, feeling down or overwhelmed by it all, dealing with relationship issues or working through a breakup, or discovering more of who you want to be and where you want to go, finding a counselor who listens, understands and offers non-judgmental perspective is important. When you are wondering about a future that is filled with concerns about climate change and social change - not to mention relationships and finances - whew! that's a lot - take a breath - a counselor can help.

How? Going to counseling is having a supportive, non-judgmental place to share your story and get a compassionate perspective. Helping you to relieve anxiety and depression by building skills for mindful emotional regulation, effective communication, managing school and life priorities; resolving trauma, PTSD, or issues from the past; designing a future with organized step by step choices, or simply learning more about yourself - these are the kind of things that counseling can help with.

I'll be happy to talk things over with you. Contact me for a brief, no cost consultation. You can email, text or call to set up initial contact. We'll see if it seems like a good fit, and go from there.

Meeting your scheduling needs through a combination of online or in person appointments is an important part of my practice. Online options available for anyone, anywhere in Florida.
