“Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.” -Rumi
After working for years in college counseling centers and private practice settings, I witnessed the pressures of social media and the lack of emotional preparation given to young adults entering college and, ultimately, life as an emerging adult.
With school demands, dating, family conflicts, and the news, it can feel difficult for a young adult to manage this amount of stress. This often leads to feeling overwhelmed and “shutdown.” I can help you gain coping skills and learn stress reduction tools through different techniques, including expressive arts, mindfulness, and meditation. I also work along with parents to make sure what is discussed in session is reinforced at home in order to create more stability and peace within the home.
For young adults, it can feel as if so much of their lives are out of their control. I empower them to identify areas where they have control and I provide the safe space to explore it all.
