Thinking about counseling can feel a little scary, especially if you’ve never done it before. You might be wondering if it’s really for you, or where to even start. That’s okay. A lot of people feel that way at first.

You might be dealing with anxiety, stress, problems in a relationship, or big life changes that feel hard to handle on your own. Maybe you’re a teen feeling overwhelmed with school or friendships, or a young adult going through a confusing time. Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

That’s where I come in. My job is to listen, support you, and help you make sense of what you’re going through. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need—we’ll figure it out together.

In our sessions, we’ll talk about what’s going on, what’s getting in your way, and what might help you feel more in control of your life. We’ll move at your pace, and nothing is off-limits.

Counseling isn’t about having something “wrong” with you—it’s about having a safe, non-judgmental place to talk and feel heard. It’s a way to feel stronger, build confidence, and start making changes that feel good for you.
